MCGI for Patients

MCGI focuses on personalized cancer therapy. By testing the genomic profile of your individual cancer it is possible to identify the treatment most likely to work for you. The MCGI team is working with all oncology practices in Maine to ensure that people diagnosed with cancer in the state have access to genomic tumor testing, innovative clinical trials and individualized therapies.
