The Maine Cancer Genomics Initiative (MCGI) is an alliance of Maine oncology providers led by The Jackson Laboratory with funding from the Harold Alfond™ Foundation. Its primary goal is to reduce disparities in access to advanced technologies for cancer care and precision medicine.
MCGI, in partnership with every oncology practice in Maine, has provided innovative cancer genomic testing, education and clinical trials infrastructure to one of the most rural areas in the country. Now, MCGI has become a model for community precision oncology, or personalized cancer care, in a rural setting.
