ACC Tissue Bank

Because ACC is so rare, it is often difficult to collect enough tumor samples to analyze, and yet tissue samples are critical to the advancement of ACC research and to the discovery of better treatments for patients.

With early support from the ATAC research fund, TGen established and now houses the largest "frozen" ACC-specific tissue bank in the world. Tissue banks provide researchers with the high-quality samples necessary to advance laboratory and clinical efforts toward defeating ACC.

This valuable resource enables researchers to study ACC patient samples with a view toward developing better drug therapies and more effective diagnostic tests by identifying those genetic changes that cause ACC.
