Abstract
This is a description of the steps that Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) has developed to collect surgical resection biospecimens. There are multiple protocols with various preservation methods and targeted assays. Here only the Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) related information is provided.

Sample Processing for CPTAC Renal Cell Carcinoma
The CPTAC Biospecimen Core Resource (BCR) at the Pathology and Biorepository Core of the Van Andel Research Institute in Grand Rapids, Michigan manufactured and distributed biospecimen kits to the Tissue Source Sites (TSS) located in the US, Europe, and Asia. Each kit contains a set of pre-manufactured labels for unique tracking of every specimen respective to TSS location, disease, and sample type, used to track the specimens through the BCR to the CPTAC proteomic and genomic characterization centers.
Tissue specimens averaging 200 mg were snap-frozen by the TSS within a 30 min cold ischemic time (CIT) (CIT average = 13 min) and an adjacent segment was formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and H&E stained by the TSS for quality assessment to meet the CPTAC ccRCC requirements. Routinely, several tissue segments for each case were collected.
