CDC 8-25-11 HAWAII: " $2.3 Million Grant for Hawaii Research of Liver Cancer "

Associated Press (08.24.11)

The University of Hawaii Cancer Center and the Queen’s Medical Center on

Wednesday jointly announced winning a $2.3 million grant to study liver cancer.

The five-year grant from the National Cancer Institute will be used to develop

better methods of detecting the cancer, officials said. Hawaii’s liver cancer

incidence and death rates are the nation’s highest, partly because those with

hepatitis are more prone to develop the cancer. Immigrants from Asia, which has

some of the world’s highest hepatitis rates, are more likely to be infected.
