Abstract

Tissue banking has emerged as a critical resource in head and neck cancer research, facilitating the collection, preservation, and analysis of biological specimens for translational studies. This short communication article provides an overview of the importance of tissue banking in head and neck cancer research, highlighting recent advancements in tissue banking techniques and their applications in translational research. By systematically cataloging and archiving tissue specimens, researchers can investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying head and neck cancer development and progression, identify prognostic markers, and develop personalized therapeutic approaches. Despite facing logistical and technical challenges, tissue banking holds immense promise for improving diagnostic accuracy, prognostication, and treatment outcomes in head and neck cancer patients.
