A tumor bank (TB) is an ordered collection of neoplastic samples, normal tissue, and/or fluids preserved under optimal conditions, as well as storing patients' clinical information. The objective of this article is to outline the planning and logistics necessary for the functioning of the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología (INCan) TB in Mexico City. For the planning and logistics of a TB, several technical, legal, medical, structural, and physical aspects were considered, which can be grouped under four headings: (1) design and structure, (2) equipping the area and informatics, (3) ethical-legal aspects, and (4) sample collection, preservation, and quality control. One crucial element of interinstitutional interest will be the transfer of these concepts to the different oncological centers, integrating in this manner a network that enables the exploration of the different pathologies from therapeutic, epidemiological, and molecular points of view.
