Malignant tumor of kidney (disorder)

Renal Cancer Biomarkers (NIHR Biomarker Programme)

Year Started: 2011

706 patients recruited across 11 UK centres: 494 cross sectional cohort with single time point and 212 with multiple samples as a longitudinal cohort. 511 tissue samples: 375 FFPE only, 18 frozen only and 118 both. For each patient at each timepoint, multiple aliquots of EDTA plasma, serum, and urine are stored frozen at -80ºC together with a buffy coat sample. Digital images are available for some of the tissue samples. Clinical data including long-term follow-up is held by Leeds Clinical Trials Research Unit.
