The UH Cancer Center is the main institution focused on cancer research in the State of Hawai ‘ i and the U . S . -affiliated Pacific Islands ( USAPI ), and is located 2,300 miles from the nearest National Cancer Institute ( NCI ) -designated cancer center . We are the only cancer center whose research and community engagement initiatives are centered on the Pacific Islands with unique populations of Native Hawaiian and other Polynesian , Micronesian , Japanese , Chinese , Korean , Filipino , and European descent . There is no racial or ethnic majority in Hawai ‘ i , due to the diverse population in the state .
We aim to reduce the burden of cancer through research , education , patient care , and community outreach for those who live in Hawai ‘ i and the USAPI . This area is approximately 11 million square miles , slightly more than double the area of the continental United States , and includes 2.02 million people .
