The symposium will address the significant impact of pre-analytical 
biospecimen variables on cancer research and molecular medicine.  Hosted 
by NCI's Office of Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research 
, the meeting will bring together 
leaders in the fields of biospecimen research, genomics, proteomics, 
oncology, pathology, biobanking, hospital administration and
