Critical Commentary

The tube contains a very tiny part of the ovary tumor, which will now be one of the tumor samples stored in the tumor bank of INCan, waiting to be used by an interested researcher. Removed human organs are the raw material that feeds scientific research in this biobank. The tube is codified with an internal code of the tumor bank.
