Abstract
The samples and collections of tumors circulate, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot, sometimes for “in house” scientific purpose only, sometimes in the perspective of making them available to third parties. What should be their economic model? What are today’s practices? What can be done? What should be done? What legal framework should be used in that respect?
These seemingly simple issues, which are first of all to do with public health policies and economic analysis, raise considerable legal problems. They also require consideration from a societal point of view. They mainly imply taking stock of the practices and objectives of research professionals, as well as to become aware of the social representations of these yet little-known objects.
