What does ASCOP mean in HUMAN GENOME

ASCOP stands for Assessment of Genomic Alterations in Adenosquamous Carcinoma Of the Pancreas. It is a research program focusing on understanding the genetic and molecular changes that define this particular type of pancreatic cancer.

The overall purpose of ASCOP is to develop better ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma by gaining insights into disease biomarkers, uncovering new treatment strategies, exploring immunotherapies and developing targeted treatments.

Researchers work collaboratively with medical experts to sequence the specific tumor genomes of individuals diagnosed with this type of cancer in order to better understand its causes. They also conduct laboratory experiments to identify new therapeutic targets and generate data on how tumors respond to current treatments available in clinical settings. With these results, they aim to identify novel therapies that could provide improved outcomes for patients affected by pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma.

The ASCOP Program welcomes participation from qualified individuals with pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma who meet the criteria set forth by their physicians or medical provider. Those interested in participating must be 18 years or older and have not yet started any treatment for their cancer prior to enrolling in the program.

Participation in the ASCOP Program is free of charge and all costs associated with researching an individual’s tumor genome are covered at no additional cost by ASCOP sponsors.

There are no known risks associated with participating in ASCOP research studies beyond those incurred whenever entering a health care facility or laboratory setting for diagnostic evaluation or treatment as part of regular medical care.

All participants will receive a complimentary copy of their sequenced tumor genome results within 12 weeks after consenting and providing their consent form samples for sequencing analysis. Additionally, eligible participants can also request additional information about their diagnosis based on genomic testing results which may include any approved drug therapies for treating their particular condition if needed.

As part of being an active participant, you may be invited to join support groups related to your condition organized by ASCOP or partner organizations that work together with the Program such as patient advocacy groups, local hospitals etc., which can help provide resources and information about treatments options available - such as access clinics that offer personalized care plans designed around each individual’s diagnosis - along with access peer networks from those who have gone through similar experiences.
