Description
Summary:Clinical studies and preclinical investigations are essential in order to test new therapies and diagnostic techniques aimed at sustainable improvements in the treatment of patients. Fortunately, the number of clinical studies is continuously increasing and pathology and tissue-based research are more frequently involved. Pathologists are essential in this process and committed to support it by joining forces with our clinical partners. The investigative diagnostic technologies we apply to human cell and tissue samples and our specific expertise are essential contributions to the quality and success of preclinical investigations, clinical studies, and the implementation of results into clinical diagnostic pathology. In order to support this process, the German Society of Pathology has formulated a statement on the participation in and support of clinical studies and other scientific investigations with a special focus on tissue-based research.
