Tissue Donation

Archived Tissue Donation

Once you or your child are enrolled in the rrHBL Registry, the Registry coordinator will reach out to your treating institution(s) to inquire about archived tissue availability. If you are not enrolled in the Registry, and are interested in joining, please contact us at 844-722-8774 (Option 1) or rrHBLRegistry@cchmc.org.

Fresh Tissue Donation

In order to develop tumor models, researchers benefit from fresh tumor tissue to work with in their labs. The tumor models developed are a vital component to developing potential therapeutic agents to treat rrHBL. If you are interested in donating fresh tumor tissue to the Registry, please follow the steps below.
