MADP is committed to ensuring that every patient – regardless of geographic location, income, or zip code – has access to advances in precision medicine cancer testing.
Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the U.S., exceeded only by heart disease. Each year, over 1.9 million new cancer cases are diagnosed.
Reality → Only 5–10% of cancers are inherited. The majority arise from acquired (somatic) genetic mutations that develop over a person’s lifetime due to environmental exposures, lifestyle factors, or random errors in cell division rather than an inherited genetic mutation present from birth.
Precision Medicine in Cancer Care → Also known as precision oncology, involves tailoring treatment to each patient’s unique cancer biomarkers and genetic profile. MADP refers to as cancer’s unique “molecular fingerprint”.
MADP Public Health Impact → Ensuring every community has access to precision medicine cancer testing. By understanding the unique genetic profile of each patient’s cancer, physicians can guide more personalized, targeted treatments – leading to better outcomes.
At MADP, we believe where you live should not determine your access to potentially lifesaving cancer testing. We help patients understand their care options while working to expand access to precision medicine across communities nationwide.

We deeply value the expertise and dedication of clinicians. In partnership with providers and health systems, MADP works to ensure they have the support and resources needed to deliver the best possible care — advancing early detection and prevention of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).
Clinicians are on the frontlines of the fight against chronic disease. Physicians and hospital systems play a critical role in protecting patients – but they face enormous challenges as clinical demands continue to grow. MADP helps ease this burden.
MADP Precision Medicine: Smarter Screening. Smarter Testing. Earlier Intervention. → Helping clinicians integrate the latest preventive and diagnostic strategies into patient care – extending clinical impact across populations through education, collaboration, and community outreach.
MADP Food as Medicine Initiative (HCP Program) → MADP partners with healthcare providers to offer free nutrition support for patients, delivering actionable, therapeutic nutrition strategies that strengthen prevention efforts and support chronic disease management. Providers interested in participating are encouraged to contact our team.
Join Dr. Chris Huff, MD, FACC, board-certified cardiologist, and Cassandra Isley, MT(ASCP), CEO of MADP Alliance for Disease Prevention, for an informative discussion on the evolving role of advanced biomarker testing in preventive cardiovascular care.
Discover how biomarkers such as Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] can provide important insights beyond traditional cholesterol testing, helping identify cardiovascular risk earlier and support more personalized prevention strategies. 🎙️Listen to the Podcast → [HERE]
MADP welcomes strategic partnerships with mission-aligned organizations, corporations, healthcare institutions, and nonprofits committed to advancing the prevention of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), precision medicine, and value-based care.
Through collaboration, we can expand access to critical patient support resources, advance national prevention initiatives, and help bring lifesaving innovations in healthcare to more patients, families, and communities.
Meaningful progress in public health requires more than awareness – it requires coordinated action and a shared commitment to improving health outcomes.
Together, we can close the gap between clinical advancements and patient access.
As part of this shared commitment, we invite you to explore the American Medical Association’s perspective on value-based care: → What Is Value-Based Healthcare? — AMA (2025)
MADP is dedicated to strengthening NCD prevention efforts and reduce barriers to precision medicine – with cancer and cardiovascular disease at the forefront.
MADP provides vital education, advocacy, and support resources to help patients and families understand how to reduce their risks for NCDs, explore appropriate screening and advanced testing options, and make informed healthcare decisions in partnership with their providers.
Knowing your risks and taking an active role in your health are important steps toward disease prevention and better long-term health outcomes.
As a national public health nonprofit, MADP welcomes collaboration with community health organizations to help us expand access to public health patient support resources across all 50 states. We invite organizations interested to contact our MADP Support Team by emailing ➜ [HERE].
MADP Support Hub and patient resources are provided at no cost to patients and families, made possible through the continued generosity of our donors.
A few highlights of resources include:
MADP Call-to-Action E-Books
MADP offers two important patient advocacy and awareness E-Books supporting critical public health initiatives: addressing the rise in early-onset colorectal cancer and promoting Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] testing at least once in adulthood, beginning at age 18, to help identify inherited cardiovascular risk.
We invite you to explore these and additional educational and advocacy resources through the MADP Patient Support Resource Hub ➜ Login [HERE]
