Table 2: The FFPE human tissue listed in the STORE DB and/or available in the radiobiological archive. miners cohort to investigate the potential health risks associated with occupational radiation exposures and dust [28, 39, 40]. The archived biological samples including FFPE tissues are now hosted by the Institute of Prevention and Occupational Medicine (IPA) in Bochum, Germany. Overall, it harbours 28,975 autopsy cases and health data [41] that have been collected from 1957 to 1994. Among these cases, 17,466 were identified as uranium workers [29]. The long-term study of cohort and its follow-up includes information on radon, quartz and arsenic exposure derived from work history, as well as information on tumour subtypes and non-cancer diseases [28, 39].
