Together WE CAN
Prevent Cancer

About the Movement

The Cancer Prevention Movement was established by Preventive Oncologist, Transformational Health Coach, and award-winning author, Melanie R. Palomares, M.D., M.S (“Dr. Mel”) in March 2018.  The Cancer Prevention Movement grew from Dr. Mel’s declaration at the release of her first book in February 2017 that “Cancer will cease to exist as we know it by the year 2030!”

Our aim is to decrease the global burden of cancer through the provision of public education, scientific research, and customized genetic and environmental cancer risk assessment tailored to individuals and families.

“The number of cancers diagnosed each year is set to double by the year 2050 if we don’t do anything about it. This is unacceptable! My goal is to reverse this trend and empower you with knowledge of your own personal cancer risk, with risk-adjusted screening recommendations and prevention options, so that you may optimize your own health.”
Dr. Mel, Physician Founder, Cancer Prevention Movement

About Our Founder

With multidisciplinary training in oncology, epidemiology, and genetics, Melanie R. Palomares, M.D., M.S., affectionately known as “Dr. Mel”, practices Preventive Oncology. Her focus is cancer prevention, early detection, and risk assessment.

After nearly 20 years in academic medicine, at the Fred Hutch, University of Washington, City of Hope and the University of Southern California, she founded the Cancer Prevention Movement.

But what is much more inspiring than her credentials, is her personal story of how cancer has affected her family and herself.

What people say?

"Dr. Mel is a quality healthcare professional with excellent disease analysis, identification and treatment skills. As effective as she is in dealing with her current cases, it was interesting to me to learn that her real passion is directed towards disease eradication, prevention and overall better health promotion. Her approach is never to just focus on your current health problem alone. Dr. Mel is always concerned with you, the whole person, and your overall general health, and not just for today but also for your health in the future."
