Biobanking and data integration for SGTs remain particularly limited, as these tumours are often excluded from malignant tumour registries; even when data are collected centrally, they frequently lack sufficient detail and standardization, hindering harmonization and meaningful analysis.&lt;b&gt;Aim:&lt;\/b&gt; To present the design and early implementation of the Polish Salivary Gland Network (PSGN), a multicentre initiative linking standardized clinical data with ISO 20387-compliant biobanking infrastructure for SGTs.&lt;b&gt;Materials and methods:&lt;\/b&gt; The PSGN collects harmonized clinical, surgical, and pathological data from eight academic university departments across Poland (2017\u20132025). The data are managed using NorayBanks software, ensuring full traceability, regulatory compliance, and standardized data governance. This infrastructure lays the foundation for future digital integration, image-based research, and AI-supported analyses. Additional efforts focus on data quality assurance, process mapping, and dataset harmonization to enable multicentre interoperability and research scalability.&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;\/b&gt; As of 2025, the PSGN holds data on 3,654 patients with SGT (mean age: 58.3 years; 62% female), including &gt;70 clinicopathological variables per case. While parotid tumours dominate, ~3.7% involve rare sites such as the parapharyngeal space. The registry includes treatment details and key outcomes such as DFS, OS, and recurrence. Early findings suggest potential to inform clinical decision-making and uncover diagnostic challenges.&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/b&gt; The PSGN is the first structured platform for SGT biobanking. It provides a foundation for data-driven research and sets the stage for future digital and molecular advancements in rare cancer studies.<\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0055.2973","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,31]],"date-time":"2025-10-31T13:26:57Z","timestamp":1761917217000},"page":"51-57","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Biobanking of Salivary Gland Tumours: Insights from the Polish Salivary Gland Network Towards Future Digital Integration and Image-Based Research"],"prefix":"10.5604","volume":"79","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0006-6352","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ma\u0142gorzata","family":"Wierzbicka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Regional Specialist Hospital Wroclaw, Research & Development Centre, Wroclaw, Poland, Institute of Human Genetics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5109-3911","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wioletta","family":"Pietruszewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Head Neck Oncology, Medical University of Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hanna","family":"Klimza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Regional Specialist Hospital Wroclaw, Research & Development Centre, Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4736-152X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dominik","family":"Stodulski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Faculty of Medicine, Medical University of Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3416-7354","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaros\u0142aw","family":"Markowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laryngology, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Piernicka-Dybich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laryngology, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0464-1214","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Radomska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Pomeranian University of Medicine Szczecin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-9733-4440","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alicja","family":"Cha\u0144ko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Pomeranian University of Medicine Szczecin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6653-4599","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pawe\u0142","family":"Burduk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Phoniatrics and Audiology, Collegium Medicum, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Bydgoszcz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Majszyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Medical University of Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2571-1824","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Boguslaw","family":"Mikaszewski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Faculty of Medicine, Medical University of Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5031-1913","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrycja","family":"Gazinska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biobank Research Group, Lukasiewicz Research Network \u2013 PORT Polish Center for Technology Development, Wroclaw, Poland, Department of Hematology and Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3689","reference":[{"key":"632000r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Harris J.R., Burton P., Knoppers B.M. et al.: Toward a roadmap in global biobanking for health.
