The money will be used to ensure the clinical data necessary for WCB to link with outcome information is entered onto the all Wales Cancer information database (CanISC) and will also allow WCB to develop the database to include digital images. In order to supply researchers with a variety of biomaterials, nucleic acids will be extracted from the tissue and blood samples and the processing and associated costs will also be covered by this grant.
The grant starts in September 2006 and will run for five years. WCB would like to thank CRW and all its supporters for this funding.
