MCGI advances a new model for cancer care—bringing precision oncology into every community through world-class genomic science, collaboration, and education.
MCGI was created to close the gap between cutting-edge cancer research and patient care. The program is making genomics actionable by surrounding patients and local oncology teams with shared expertise, collaborative case review, and ongoing education.
Through a unique model backed by world-class genomic science, MCGI equips the cancer care community with the knowledge and confidence to realize the promise of truly personalized medicine, close to home.
