A high level of support for tissue banking has been identified amongst both the general public and patients. However, much debate remains about the regulatory framework of tissue banks.
This study explored the views of haematological cancer patients regarding tissue banking and how tissue banks should operate.
Haematological cancer patients from three outpatient clinics in Australia completed a questionnaire examining their preferences for tissue banking as well as items about their sociodemographic characteristics, disease and treatment history.
The majority of participants (95%) reported being willing to allow their leftover tissue to be used for medical research. Three quarters (76%) supported the idea of their medical record being linked to their tissue sample, and 77% preferred a blanket (one-off) consent model for future research use of their tissue sample. Only 57 (27%) participants had been asked to give a tissue sample for research, 98% of whom gave permission.
The majority of haematological cancer patients are willing to donate their leftover tissue to a tissue bank and have their medical records linked to tissue samples and prefer a one-off consent process. These novel data from potential donors inform the debate about how tissue banks might operate.

已确定公众和患者对组织库的支持度较高。然而,关于组织库的监管框架仍存在诸多争议。
本研究探讨了血液系统癌症患者对组织库的看法以及组织库应如何运作。
来自澳大利亚三家门诊诊所的血液系统癌症患者完成了一份问卷,该问卷调查了他们对组织库的偏好以及有关其社会人口学特征、疾病和治疗史的项目。
大多数参与者(95%)表示愿意让其剩余组织用于医学研究。四分之三(76%)的人支持将其病历与组织样本关联的想法,77%的人更喜欢一次性同意模式用于未来对其组织样本的研究。只有57名(27%)参与者被要求提供组织样本用于研究,其中98%给予了许可。
大多数血液系统癌症患者愿意将其剩余组织捐赠给组织库,将其病历与组织样本关联,并更喜欢一次性同意程序。来自潜在捐赠者的这些新数据为有关组织库如何运作的辩论提供了信息。
