Creation of a Biobank of Fertile Men

December 19, 2023 updated by: Andrea Salonia, IRCCS San Raffaele

Creation of a Biobank of Biological Samples From Fertile Men

Collection and conservation of human biological material from fertile subjects, i.e. men with previous parenthood (normospermic men, natural fathers).

Detailed Description

The project aims to collect biological material derived both from surgical resections of the most common urological tumors and from peripheral blood or other biological fluids such as urine or seminal fluid when available. The objective of the study is to establish a biobank of human biological material, which will allow access to samples of extreme value for the pathophysiological study of the tumor, its origin, mechanisms and markers of progression, as well as the creation of this collection it will represent an extremely valuable tool for the study of individual response to therapies.
