Abstract in brief

The Maine Cancer Genomics Initiative (MCGI) aimed to improve genomic tumor testing access for cancer patients in rural Maine through genomic tumor boards, clinician education, and free testing services from 2016 to 2020.
A hub-and-spoke model was adopted for the initiative, involving a centralized genomic tumor board program, an online education module, and comprehensive testing that engaged all 19 oncology practices in Maine, with participation from 79 oncologists.
The initiative successfully enrolled 1610 patients, held 196 genomic tumor boards with 47 clinicians, and achieved significant improvements in clinician participation and patient enrollment in a rural setting, enhancing precision oncology accessibility.
