Mono: A biobank that supports a specific research project, may have few staff members, a small-scale accrual scope with little to no initial intention of releasing or distributing biospecimens to secondary parties
Oligo: A biobank that supports several research groups or clinical trials, may or may not be designed to release biospecimens outside their collaborative group
Poly: A biobank that has generally a larger accrual scope, resources, and multiple users outside the biobank proper

Registration Status: Completed

Objective: This biobank comprises mostly specimens (FFPE and frozen tumors, plasma, serum, urine samples etc.) and clinical data from patients with urological cancers (prostate, bladder and kidney cancers).
