Tissue Cryopreservation & Storage

Tissue Cryopreservation & Storage

Tissue Cryopreservation preserves tumor tissue at ultra-low temperatures so it can remain useful for future testing, evolving therapies, and clinical trial opportunities—without needing another biopsy later.

What is Tissue Cryopreservation?

is the controlled freezing and long-term storage of tumor tissue (and sometimes blood) at extremely low temperatures. In plain English: it’s the difference between saving the original source file of your tumor vs. being stuck with a limited snapshot later.

because cancer care is changing fast—and the tissue you preserve today can influence what becomes possible months or years from now.

Why storage matters more than most patients realize

Most patients assume the biopsy is “just for diagnosis.” But how tissue is handled can impact what testing is even possible later. If future treatment decisions depend on additional analysis, a preserved sample can help prevent the “we wish we had more tissue” moment.

  • Your plan changes (new doctor, new cancer center, new recommendation)
  • Treatment stops working and you need new options
  • You want a second opinion without repeating a procedure
  • You want to stay ready for emerging testing and trial opportunities
How the process works (simple steps)
  1. Plan before biopsy/surgery so the team knows what to collect and how to handle it.
  2. Collection & transfer with a guided workflow (your team isn’t guessing).
  3. Processing + documentation to confirm what was preserved.
  4. Cryostorage with monthly or annual storage options.
Who is this best for?

This is a strong fit if you:

  • Are pre-biopsy or pre-surgery and want to protect future options
  • May seek clinical trials or second opinions
  • Have a diagnosis where treatment paths often evolve
  • Want to reduce the risk of needing an additional invasive procedure later
Does cryopreservation replace standard pathology?

No. Diagnosis still happens through standard medical processes. Cryopreservation is about preserving future optionality.

Cryopreservation planning is best done before tissue is collected so it’s handled appropriately at the start.

Long-term storage is the point—many patients store for years as new options emerge.
