AANCART comes to Hawaii.
There are 176,707 foreign-born Asian Americans living in Hawaii, according to the 2000 Census. Data from the Hawaii Tumor Registry show that foreign-born Asian Americans in Hawaii are diagnosed with cancer at a later stage than the white population in Hawaii. It is the intent of AANCART at the Cancer Research Center of Hawaii to address this disparity of cancer status of the foreign-born Asian American population in Hawaii.
