To enable the quick testing of early stage concepts, an Express Tissue Application and Express CT Scan Application is available. Complete and submit the tissue or CT form attached to apply for a small sample of tissues that can be used to perform preliminary testing. A de-identified limited dataset will be provided with the tissues. Please click here for the list of variables included.

For more complex concepts requiring a larger sample size, or a specific patient population, the Standard Application should be used. For a complete view of the LTRC study forms, please click here. Refer to form 62 for a list at final clinical diagnosis, and form 60 for final pathological diagnosis.
