Bio banks


A friend of mine is recovering from colon cancer. Along the way I have come across Bio banks and their partnership with the NHS. I am just curious if anyone has had experience or knowledge about this area on a personal level. 

Thank you!

  • Hi llouno, 

    I hope that your friend is recovering well after being diagnosed with colon cancer. You bring up an interesting subject and I hope that you will hear from other members who have had personal experience or knowledge of these bio banks and their partnership with the NHS. 

    In the meantime, I thought I would share with you this interesting article on biobanking which was published a couple of years ago on our Cancer News site which looks at how impactful biobanking has been for cancer research. 

    Best wishes to you and your friend,
