University of Hawai їi at Manoa. Cancer Center R&D Centre

The University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center's mission is to reduce the burden of cancer through research, education, patient care and community outreach with an emphasis on the unique ethnic, cultural and environmental characteristics of Hawaiʻi and the Pacific.

The University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center is one of only 71 research organizations in the U.S. designated by the NCI and the only one in the Pacific. This designation, continuous since 1996, requires stringent and constant evaluation, and gives the UH Cancer Center the distinction of being among the best cancer research institutions in the world.
