๐ Success Story | Precision Oncology at UZ Gent
At UZ Gent, collaboration and standardization are key drivers of innovation in cancer research. UZ Gent has established a prospective, uniform biobank collection to support translational oncology research.
๐ Liquid biopsies are systematically collected from oncology patients across multiple departments.
๐ฅ Four clinical departments are involved, working with standardized patient inclusion procedures.
๐งช All samples are centrally processed and stored within the UZ Gent Central Biobank, ensuring high quality and consistency.
๐ Each sample is linked to well-curated clinical and follow-up data, increasing its research value.
๐ The cohort continues to grow and includes longitudinal sampling, enabling follow-up over time.
Together, this initiative is building a strong research infrastructure and strengthening national and international collaborations in precision oncology.
