    Information Technologies can provide the basis for new directions in cancer research, supplying tools that identify subtle but important signs from the analysis of clinical, behavioral, environmental and genetic data. The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze the system developed for managing Banco Nacional de Tumores (SISBNT) – National Tumor Bank System - highlighting its role in the technological innovation of Instituto Nacional do Câncer (INCA) – Brazilian National Cancer Institute. It is a qualitative empirical theoretical paper, descriptive and exploratory in nature, based on the single case study method and on participant observation. The results show the importance of good practices in information management for the full operation of a biobank in a research-oriented pharmaceutical company. There is also evidence that the implementation of SISBNT has contributed to the improvement of cancer treatment quality and to the support of efforts towards the organization of the integration of clinical, translational and basic research.

    The non-use of data mining techniques for the identification of molecular patterns and structures associated with the different types of cancer undergoing study at INCA seems to occur due to the early stage of Bioinformatics and translational research, as well as the National Tumor Bank, in the institution.

    As tecnologias de informação podem fornecer bases para novos rumos nas pesquisas em câncer, disponibilizando ferramentas que identifiquem sinais sutis, mas importantes, a partir da análise de dados clínicos, comportamentais, ambientais e genéticos. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever e analisar o sistema desenvolvido para a gestão do Banco Nacional de Tumores (SISBNT), destacando o seu papel para inovação tecnológica do Instituto Nacional do Câncer (INCA) do Brasil. Trata-se de um ensaio teórico-empírico qualitativo, de natureza descritiva e exploratória, apoiada no método de estudo de caso único e na observação participante. Os resultados demonstram que a implantação do SIBNT está contribuindo para melhorar a qualidade no tratamento do câncer e para apoiar os esforços da organização na integração das pesquisas básica, translacional e clínica.
