Tissue banks represent essential resources and platforms for biomedical research serving basic, translational, and clinical research projects. In this article, we describe 2 models of biobanking and tissue preservation with different approaches and aims. Archive tissue biobanking is described here as a resource of residual pathology tissues for translational research, which represents the huge clinical heterogeneity. In this context, managing of tissues and RNA quality in archive tissue are discussed. The other model of tissue biobanking is referred to as xenograft tissue banking, which represents an alternative method for obtaining large amounts of tissue, over an indefinite period, in so far as the tumor can be transferred in vivo over generations, maintaining the histological and genetic particularities. A description of the method and examples of the application are given with particular emphasis on sarcomas (Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal sarcoma, synovial sarcomas, and rhabdomyosarcomas) and early stages of tumor angiogenesis in sarcomas.
