About this trial

SPECTA is a quality assured platform for collecting clinicopathologically annotated biological material, imaging data, operative images, environmental assessment, questionnaires as well as patient-reported outcomes from cancer patients to support biospecimen-based translational research and clinical cancer research, including biomarker discovery to improve the understanding of tumor biology and cancer patients care.
