Avera Cancer Sequencing and Analytics Protocol (ASAP)
This study, called ASAP, aims to understand the genetic makeup of cancers and pre-cancerous conditions in patients receiving care within the Avera healthcare system. Researchers will use comprehensive genomic profiling (looking at your genes) to identify the underlying genetic changes that drive these conditions. This involves testing tumor tissue and/or blood using next-generation sequencing (a way to read DNA). They will also perform pharmacogenomic testing to see how your genes might affect your response to medications, which could help optimize your treatment. You may be able to join if you are at least 18 years old and are being evaluated for a pre-cancerous condition or have a cancer diagnosis. The study hopes to enroll 25,000 participants and will measure how many patients receive comprehensive molecular profiling, are referred for genetic testing for their family members, and are referred for clinical trials targeting specific genetic changes, all over a 5-year period.
