UPMC Hillman Cancer Center Translational Oncologic Pathology Services
TOPS is a UPMC Hillman Cancer Center managed and regulated resource that provides coordinated collection, processing, annotation, distribution, and storage of patient biospecimens to investigators and their respective collaborators.
The main objective of Translational Oncologic Pathology Services (TOPS) is to provide an end-to-end solution that consolidates multiple pathology-related services into a single infrastructure. This consolidation improves our investigators and collaborators’ experience by facilitating equitable access, producing high-quality biospecimens, maximizing biospecimen utility, and providing essential education on the appropriate use and interpretation of biospecimens.
