The University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center is dedicated to saving lives in Hawaiʻi and the Pacific and inspiring hope by conquering cancer. It strives to do this through research, education, patient care, and community outreach, emphasizing the diverse and unique ethnic, cultural, and environmental characteristics of Hawaiʻi and the Pacific. The UH Cancer Center adds more than $57 million to the Oʻahu economy through scientific research, clinical trials, and numerous other activities. It is one of only 72 cancer research institutions designated by the National Cancer Institute, a mark of rigor and excellence, and the only NCI-designated cancer center in Hawaiʻi and the Pacific.
