Declarations
:
: Because we used de-identified archived samples, this study was deemed Not Human Subjects Research and therefore exempt from additional oversight by the City of Hope Institutional Review Board (IRB Protocol #16142). This study assessed a mix of samples obtained with and without patient consent. General consent to participate was usually obtained using forms approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB Protocol #07047, approval date: 06/21/2007). All archived DNA samples, obtained under IRB Protocol #89115, were from biospecimens collected in the first tumor bank at City of Hope as de-identified surgical discard material in the 1980s and 1990s, when individual patient consent for research purposes was not required. Frozen and FFPE tissue samples were procured through the City of Hope Biospecimen Repository Protocol. We were unable to verify the consent status for all samples (Additional File : Table S2). Consent for a subset of the most recent samples was validated through the honest broker system.
