The Leukemia Tissue Bank at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (PM), University Health Network (UHN) collects and stores samples from consented patients with a variety of hematologic disorders and other malignancies including, but not limited to: Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia (AML), Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), Myeloproliferative Syndromes, Myelodysplastic Syndromes, Hairy Cell Leukemia, Sezary Syndrome, Multiple Myelomas and Lymphomas.
We provide high quality samples that include viable cells, plasma and serum, with associated clinical data to qualified researchers within UHN, at academic centres around the world and to industry. Our ultimate goal is to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of blood disorders and other malignancies by facilitating studies that will enhance our understanding of the diseases.
