Your Tumor Has Unique Information that is Neccessary to Design Personalized Treatments
We Help You Preserve It
The Benefits of Storing your Cancer Cells Alive:
More Options
To arm you and your doctor with as many options as possible and access to leading-edge research worldwide.
Precision Diagnostics
To help your oncologist prescribe more precise drugs that have less side effects.
Better Quality of Life
A third of all patients are on the wrong treatments chemo, suffering the side effects and getting no benefits.
Better Outcomes
Eliminating ineffective therapies, identifying effective ones, and accessing personalized immunotherapies have better outcomes.
Hospitals DO NOT preserve cancer cells alive and this step requires pre-planning.
Many patients ask the surgeon/Oncologist/hospital if the hospital will store their tumor, and the answer is typically a misleading yes. This is because pathology in hospitals preserves a small part in paraffin (dead), but not alive. Hospitals do NOT preserve cancer cells alive.

Tumor Preservation
(Step 1)
Preserve your cancer cells/tissue (in multiple formats) for advanced testing and study (immediate or at later time).
Advanced Testing
Personalized Chemo/Drug Therapy
Test and prioritize which chemo/drug combination your tumor will most likely respond to before taking it.
Targeted Therapy (Genomic Testing)
Identify drugs/experimental drugs that target biomarkers on your tumor.
Immune-Therapy
Personalized Vaccines
Activate and awaken your immune system to fight your cancer from within and in parallel.
Adoptive T-Cell Therapy
Boost and strengthen the natural ability of your T-Cells (killer cells) to attack and fight your cancer.
This is personalized medicine, smart medicine!
How it Works
Before Surgery
After you complete our registration forms, a specially prepared collection kit is shipped (overnight) to you. The kit is placed in the refrigerator until the day of surgery.
Day of Surgery
You or a family member deliver the kit to the surgical team. Instructions for the surgeon are included, and they place the tumor tissue in the kit, and the courier is called for pickup. Prepaid shipping labels are included.
After Surgery
The courier delivers the specimen to our labs, and we immediately process/cryopreserve and store it. Within a few days, we will send you and you a report about what we have received and stored.
Ongoing
You can instruct us to send parts of the tumor to a destination of your choice, allowing you to maximize potential therapeutic and diagnostic options. We will help you research some of the most common applications and prioritize use of the tissue.
What others have to say about StoreMyTumor
At the time of surgery no one thinks about the tumor specimens, but they are very important because they can be sent to various labs for analysis to determine the best chemotherapy treatments for them as well as having samples available for ongoing immunotherapy trials or ones that may become available at a later date.
I highly recommend the use of StoreMyTumor to every patient!
– Pam Duffy
“When I was diagnosed, I was overwhelmed and left the important details to my Dr., but he didn’t tell me about tumor preservation.
Now, facing a
second surgery, I want to make sure to harvest tissue for more current immunotherapy treatments.
Every woman should be given this choice, because there are no do-overs.”
– Judy McCann
Not just the tumor storage but the education I received from StoreMyTumor about cancer vaccines and clinical trials was worth every penny!
I didn’t get that from my doctor. I feel so much better prepared to fight this. I am just not ready to leave my daughter
