LOOKING TO THE FUTURE ...
As we look to the future , the UH Cancer Center is committed to the people of Hawai ‘ i and the Pacific by providing the highest quality research , education , and patient care . This will be done in close partnership with departments and schools throughout the UH , community organizations , and medical centers . Collaboration and building new partnerships will be essential to better attain our goals . They will also be important to create more opportunities to improve the clinical care of cancer patients through the Early Phase Clinical Research Center and continue to bring in the latest clinical trials in partnership with our Hawai ‘ i Cancer Consortium medical centers .
We will create new resources to better understand the mechanisms driving cancers in our diverse population and to find new therapeutics and diagnostics such as the envisioned Organoid Generation Facility . We will move our population sciences program into the next phase through identifying new opportunities and re-imagining resources like our Multiethnic Cohort Study to revitalize it and explore new ways to identify the mechanisms underlying disparities in cancer incidence and mortality in Hawai ‘ i and across the U . S . -affiliated Pacific Islands .
We will continue building innovative new programs to educate the people of Hawai ‘ i on the causes of cancer in the islands and strategies to better prevent cancer or be diagnosed and treated early . We will grow our education programs that are designed to provide career enhancement and cancer-related education at every stage from high school , to undergraduate , graduate , medical , and continuing education of our scientists , physicians , and clinical research staff . This will be done in partnership with departments across the University of Hawai ‘ i and our community partners and throughout the state .
We will continue the mission to find innovative and better ways to reduce the burden of cancer in Hawai ‘ i . We invite you to join us in our fight to create a world where there is “ no more cancer "!
