What do we do?

The Tissue Procurement Shared Resource (TPSR) is part of the Ohio State University (OSU) Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) Study Grant, funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). TPSR procures remnant surgical and autopsy tissues or fluids for individual researcher protocols and for approved clinical trials. TPSR currently procures from OSU Hospital, The Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital, Solove Research Institute and Genesis Healthcare System. According to the by-laws of the OSU Hospital and the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, all tissues must be sent to pathology for evaluation. During the gross evaluation, TPSR technical staff works with the anatomic pathology staff to procure the tissue(s) for your request(s) to ensure you receive remnant, non-diagnostic specimens of the highest quality. At no time is patient diagnosis compromised.
