The Golestan province in Northern Iran, has been known as the high-risk area for upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancers since the 1970s. Because of the high rate of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers and the increasing incidence trend of other cancers in Golestan province, the promotion of cancer research activities has been taken into account by the medical research communities and policymakers in this area.
For this purpose, the Golestan Cancer Biobank (GoCB) was established in 2016 to provide biological samples and associated data collected from cancer patients by applying international standards and supporting high-quality cancer research.
