The CTB (Chernobyl Tissue Bank) is a unique venture. It is the first international cooperation that seeks to establish a collection of biological samples from tumours and normal tissues from patients for whom the aetiology of their disease is known - exposure to radioiodine in childhood. The project was initially supported by the EC, and is now jointly funded by the EC, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the USA, Sasakawa Memorial Health Foundation of Japan (SMHF) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The project is coordinated from the University Wales, Swansea and has the full support of the Governments of the Russian Federation and Ukraine.
