First fresh tumor donated via the internet to our research! We received the first tissue donation from a patient whose surgery was not done in Seattle. By coordinating with the patient, his wife and his surgeon (and FedEx), we successfully obtained tissue. This resource is invaluable for our research studies. Thank you!
