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.

The project coordinator sincerely thanks those who contributed to its success: Philippe Douste-Blazy, president of the Fondation Toulouse Cancer Santé, under the patronage of whom the conference was held; Anne Cambon-Thommsen and Emmanuelle Rias-Sebbag for their expertise, the Institut Universitaire du Cancer of Toulouse and the Research Directorate of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire of Toulouse which have provided their support and expertise; the services of the Université Toulouse 1 Capitole and in particular the university’s Research Management Service and the budget-bearing Institut Maurice Hauriou; Damien Fallon for the illustrative image of the poster that gives a kaleidoscope to our object by bringing together brilliantly and aesthetically the theme of the collection, jurists, scholars and savants. But I thank especially Anna Pigeon, who has supported every day for 3 years all the aspects of this research with a patience and an intelligence of situations and people which deserve praise. Finally, I thank the contributors, fellow jurists, economists, sociologists and doctors who have agreed to take part in this strange adventure.
