Comprehensive biobanking to enhance precision medicine in head & neck cancer through systematic sample collection & data integration.

ABSTRACT: Background & objectives Head and neck carcinomas (HNCs), including oral cancers (OCs), represent a significant global health issue, especially in India, where they contribute to one-third of the global OC burden. Despite advances in treatment, survival rates remain poor, often due to limited treatment options and underlying research gaps. The Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre (RGCIRC) biorepository initiative undertook to address this gap by systematically collecting and storing biological specimens and their derivatives for HNC, fostering translational research and collaborations. The objective of this initiative was to provide critical resources for researchers and aims to bridge the gap between laboratory findings and clinical applications, ultimately contributing to more
