C.1 Annex: Description <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> study centers<br />

identifying and tracing incident cancer cases. The study center will comprise rooms for<br />

investigation, interviews, and preanalytical preparation and interim storage <strong>of</strong> biosamples.<br />

There will be regular site visits <strong>of</strong> DKFZ scientists and staff at Saarbruecken (2 h by car).<br />

Implementation and running <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> study center will benefit from <strong>the</strong> long-standing collaboration<br />

between DKFZ and <strong>the</strong> Saarland Cancer Registry and <strong>the</strong> excellent experience with<br />

external DKFZ study centers at Saarbruecken in preceding and ongoing projects. The vicinity<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Saarland Medical Faculty at Homburg/Saar (located between Heidelberg and Saarbruecken,<br />

20 min from Saarbruecken by car) facilitates close cooperation with clinicians<br />

and associated scientists.<br />
