About

As a leader in cancer research in Maine, The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) has partnered with clinical institutions and oncology practices in Maine to help cancer patients across the state. Maine oncology providers face the challenges of having one of the highest cancer incidences in the country, along with a rapid evolution in the care and treatment options for cancer patients in their practices. As a member of the Maine community, The Jackson Laboratory believes that by collaborating with experts in Maine there is an opportunity to do more for Maine cancer patients.

The February 2017 forum will focus on:

An introduction to the Maine Cancer Genomics Initiative (MCGI).
Identifying physician educational program needs focused on genomic cancer education, including genomic testing and genomic tumor boards.
Building a collaborative network of oncology healthcare providers that will facilitate the further growth of genomic medicine research initiatives.

The 2018 schedule is currently being developed. Please refer to the 2017 schedule for an idea of content and flow.
