Individuals with metastatic disease are consented to CAncer tiSsue Collection After DEath (CASCADE) when they reach the end-of-life stage and understand that there are no further curative options available. Tissue donated to CASCADE is used in research aimed at improving outcomes for people with metastatic cancer. There are several active research projects enabled by CASCADE donors including laboratory-based research into breast, ovarian, melanoma, prostate, and lung cancer as well as psycho-social research.
