The Cancer Research Center of
Hawai‘i Mission Statement
The mission of the Cancer Research Center of
Hawai‘i is to reduce the burden of cancer through research, education, and service with an emphasis on the unique ethnic, cultural, and environmental characteristics of Hawai‘i and the Pacific.
Filipino Immigrants
(continued from page 5) affects Filipinos in Hawai‘i; share their insights on barriers to cancer prevention, screening, treatment, and survivorship faced by Filipinos; recommend actions to reduce the cancer burden; and contribute input to a strategic planning tool that will be made available to Filipino organizations and agencies to facilitate partnerships with other cancer stakeholders to promote good health for present and future generations.
Successes and lessons learned will also facilitate capacity building strategies for cancer and tobacco control measures for other Asian groups. This aids in positioning Hawai‘i AANCART to become a full project site in the next generation of the Special Populations
Network five-year funding cycle.

Exciting Work
Director’s Message
Aloha and Hafa
Adai! (a Chamorro greeting),
Representatives of the University of
Guam (UOG) visited the Center recently to discuss our exciting work
Dr. Carl-Wilhelm Vogel resulting from the $3.6 million
National Cancer Institute grant. We are assisting UOG to develop its research infrastructure and expertise as well as to train its students to become future researchers.
A long-term goal is to increase the number of minority scientists (particularly of Pacific Island ancestry) who will participate in cancer research and other cancer-related activities. The results will be very important and will provide valuable information in the battle against cancer.
On February 18th, U.S. Senators
Daniel K. Inouye and Daniel Akaka presided at a hearing about the Cancer
Center. This was a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor,
Health and Human Services, and
Education hearing, on behalf of Chairman Arlen Specter .
Those testifying demonstrated the important role the Cancer Research
Center of Hawai‘i plays in national cancer research. The other issues addressed were the Hawai‘i 3R’s program and the anticipated demand

2003 Terry Fox Run/Walk Events at Hualalai and
Wailea Support Cancer Research in a Big Way
T he Friends of the Cancer Research
Center recently received more than $26,300 from the 2003 Terry
Fox Run/Walk at the Four Seasons
Resort at Hualalai in September. This was the fifth consecutive year that the events at Hualalai have benefited the
Cancer Research Center, with the dollar amount of each year’s donation steadily increasing. Seventeen volunteers from the Center flew to the Big Island, compliments of Aloha Airlines, to provide staffing assistance at the gala dinner and silent auction and run/walk.
In mid-November of 2003, 22 volunteers also traveled to Maui with
Aloha Airlines’ assistance and worked at the Terry Fox events at the Four
Seasons Resort at Wailea. The award to the Friends from those events is still pending.

National Research
Asian American Cancer Initiative
Focuses on Filipino Immigrants
I n 2003 the Cancer Research Center received a $30,000 award from the
National Cancer Institute (NCI) to participate in the Asian American
Network for Cancer Awareness, Research and Training (AANCART). The award funded the Cancer Center to conduct fact finding and a needs assessment of the status of cancer in
Hawai‘i’s immigrant Asian populations.
The results are now being used to guide strategic planning and develop appropriate interventions to increase cancer awareness, encourage clinical trials participation, and increase the number of Asian American and other professionals involved in cancer research through education and training.
AANCART is the first federal program, among the NCI’s 18 Special Populations
Network programs, and the largest aimed at curbing cancer in Asian
Americans. There are currently eight participating AANCART sites across the nation.
The Hawai‘i AANCART project’s needs assessment revealed significant disparity among Hawai‘i’s Asian groups. According to the Hawai‘i Tumor Registry, of all the types of cancers diagnosed between
1995-2000 among people of Asian ancestry, the three most frequently occurring cancers were prostate, breast and lung. Filipinos represented the highest percentage of cancer cases at 58 percent, followed by the Japanese at 17.5
percent and the Chinese at 13.7 percent.
According to the 2000 U.S. Census,
Asians represent 3.6 percent of the
United States population, with Hawai‘i leading the nation with 41.6 percent of its 1.2 million people reporting an Asian heritage. As a state, Hawai‘i has the fourth highest percentage of foreignborn residents in the U.S. Filipinos comprise the largest immigrant group in
Hawaii at 61%, compared to all the other immigrant groups combined. Preliminary findings from the Hawai‘i Tumor
Registry show that foreign-born Asians,

Poke Champion
Kerry Kakazu Wins
First Place in Sam
Choy Poke Contest
F or the past 12 years, Dr. Kerry
Kakazu has valiantly entered the annual Sam Choy Poke Contest on the Big Island in the non-professional category. He has been a semi-finalist seven or eight times and was the second place winner two years ago. Undaunted, he once again competed in the contest last year and came away with the first place finish. He received a $1,500 cash prize for his “Lemongrass Poke Cups.”
Kakazu serves as the Cancer Center’s assistant director of operations, responsible for building and maintenance and information systems. His many challenges include coping with the space issues at the current Cancer
Center facility and relocating some faculty and staff to off-site locations.

Filipino Immigrants
(continued from page 2) when compared to U.S.-born Asians and
Caucasians, have a lower percentage of cancer diagnosed at an early stage, a higher percentage of cancer diagnosed at a late stage, and lower rates of cancer survival. Among the possible reasons cited for this disparity is poor physicianpatient communication, resulting in inadequate follow-up with physician orders. The language and socio-cultural barriers are other reasons for patients’ discomfort in verbalizing health-related complaints and for the inconsistencies in following physicians’ orders.
The AANCART program at the Cancer
Center will seek initial partnerships with
Filipino leaders to develop a strategic planning tool that will address cancer disparities in their communities. An infrastructure and capacity-building award of $100,000 has been received from the NCI’s Special Populations
Network to carry out the planning phase of the AANCART project in preparation for minority cancer research and training grants in the near future.
Charlene Cuaresma , Special Populations Liaison of the National Cancer
Institute’s Cancer Information Service of
Hawai‘i, also serves as Hawai‘i
AANCART’s community director and steering committee member. “AANCART partnerships for cancer awareness, research, and training engage intergenerational Filipino leadership to gain parity as a major cancer stakeholder to improve current measures to reduce the uneven burden of cancer,” says Cuaresma.

Awards and Accolades
Dr. Wada Receives National Bone Marrow Donor Award
C ongratulations to Dr. Randal
Wada , a pediatric oncologist,
Cancer Center researcher and medical director of the Hawai‘i Bone
Marrow Donor Registry, who received the National Bone Marrow Program’s
(NBMP) Network Innovation Award in the “donor-focused” category. The award was presented at the 2003 Awards
Program during the 16th Annual
Council Meeting in mid-November in
Minneapolis.
At the Bone Marrow Donor Registry,
Dr. Wada and staff developed a process that uses data from preliminary searches to locate new donors, who have the best chance of being called up when there is a search. These potential donors are then contacted so that their interest and eligibility can be assessed.
The NBMP’s Information Systems department generates a list each month, which identifies donors from the registry’s donor center file who have shown up as a potential six-of-six antigen match for a patient conducting a preliminary search. These non-activated donors have the highest probability of being called during a formal search for a bone marrow transplant.
“This process improves operational efficiency by focusing staff time on donors who have a relatively high chance to be called as a preliminary

Marrow Registry Program upon receiving the award.
match and who are more likely to be part of a formal search at a later stage,” says
Rose Vera Cruz , search coordinator at the Bone Marrow Donor Registry.
The process is innovative because it integrates information from both transplant center and donor center operations. As of May 2003, 63 donors from the Hawai‘i Bone Marrow Donor
Registry have been identified as having a six out of six match for patients.
The Network Innovation Awards are presented to any member of the Network who has developed or initiated an innovative donor- or patient-focused practice or tool that has led to an efficient method of operations and has increased access to the life-saving potential of marrow and blood stem cell transplantation.

(continued from page 1) annual happening at the Four Seasons
Resorts at Hualalai and Wailea. These major fundraising events are held in honor of Terry Fox , a Canadian young man with cancer who ran marathons across Canada on his artificial leg to raise money for cancer research.
Unfortunately, Fox died of his disease before realizing his mission. The Four Seasons
Resorts organization vowed to continue his legacy and assumed his mission of raising funds for cancer research in all communities in which there is a Four
Seasons Resort property.
The Cancer Research Center has been the recipient of the generosity and support of the Four Seasons Resorts in
Hawai‘i in a big way. Since 1996, the
Terry Fox events have generated in excess of $600,000 for the Friends of the
Cancer Research Center of Hawai‘i. The
Friends in turn have made these funds available to the Cancer Center for specific needs, such as start-up funds for newly recruited researchers and funding for innovative pilot studies, which may provide valuable preliminary data that could eventually result in the funding of larger peer-reviewed studies.

Study Looks at Letrozole in
A s many of you know, October was
National Breast Cancer Awareness
Month. In 2003, an estimated
211,300 women in the United States were diagnosed with breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, excluding skin cancer, and accounts for nearly one in three cancers diagnosed in American women. In Hawai‘i, it is estimated that
800 cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed each year. All women diagnosed with breast cancer are at risk of recurrence of the disease. A clinical trial looking at letrozole, a powerful aromatase inhibitor shown effective in women with advanced breast cancer, was closed early because the study found that cancer recurred much less often in the women taking letrozole compared to those on placebo.
This clinical trial was conducted to determine if letrozole (also called
Femera ® ) would reduce the risk for cancer recurrence among women who have completed four-anda-half to six years of tamoxifen therapy. After diagnosis and initial treatment, breast cancer continues to recur for many years.
Taking tamoxifen therapy for five years after breast cancer diagnosis significantly reduces the risk of recurrence among post-menopausal women who had been treated for earlystage breast cancer and who had a hormone-receptor positive form of the

“This process improves operational efficiency by focusing staff time on donors who have a relatively high chance to be called as a preliminary

Marrow Registry Program upon receiving the award.
match and who are more likely to be part of a formal search at a later stage,” says
Rose Vera Cruz , search coordinator at the Bone Marrow Donor Registry.
The process is innovative because it integrates information from both transplant center and donor center operations. As of May 2003, 63 donors from the Hawai‘i Bone Marrow Donor
Registry have been identified as having a six out of six match for patients.
The Network Innovation Awards are presented to any member of the Network who has developed or initiated an innovative donor- or patient-focused practice or tool that has led to an efficient method of operations and has increased access to the life-saving potential of marrow and blood stem cell transplantation.
2003 Terry Fox Run/Walk
(continued from page 1) annual happening at the Four Seasons
Resorts at Hualalai and Wailea. These major fundraising events are held in honor of Terry Fox , a Canadian young man with cancer who ran marathons across Canada on his artificial leg to raise money for cancer research.
Unfortunately, Fox died of his disease before realizing his mission. The Four Seasons
Resorts organization vowed to continue his legacy and assumed his mission of raising funds for cancer research in all communities in which there is a Four
Seasons Resort property.
The Cancer Research Center has been the recipient of the generosity and support of the Four Seasons Resorts in
Hawai‘i in a big way. Since 1996, the
Terry Fox events have generated in excess of $600,000 for the Friends of the
Cancer Research Center of Hawai‘i. The
Friends in turn have made these funds available to the Cancer Center for specific needs, such as start-up funds for newly recruited researchers and funding for innovative pilot studies, which may provide valuable preliminary data that could eventually result in the funding of larger peer-reviewed studies.

Study Looks at Letrozole in
A s many of you know, October was
National Breast Cancer Awareness
Month. In 2003, an estimated
211,300 women in the United States were diagnosed with breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, excluding skin cancer, and accounts for nearly one in three cancers diagnosed in American women. In Hawai‘i, it is estimated that
800 cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed each year. All women diagnosed with breast cancer are at risk of recurrence of the disease. A clinical trial looking at letrozole, a powerful aromatase inhibitor shown effective in women with advanced breast cancer, was closed early because the study found that cancer recurred much less often in the women taking letrozole compared to those on placebo.
This clinical trial was conducted to determine if letrozole (also called
Femera ® ) would reduce the risk for cancer recurrence among women who have completed four-anda-half to six years of tamoxifen therapy. After diagnosis and initial treatment, breast cancer continues to recur for many years.
Taking tamoxifen therapy for five years after breast cancer diagnosis significantly reduces the risk of recurrence among post-menopausal women who had been treated for earlystage breast cancer and who had a hormone-receptor positive form of the

Reducing Risk of Cancer Recurrence
By the Cancer Information Service of Hawai‘i Comprehensive Cancer Center at UCLA.
Dr. Reginald Ho , medical oncologist disease (disease that responds to hormone therapy). However, clinical trials have shown that tamoxifen therapy stops being effective after five years. To date, no treatment has been available for women after this five-year period.
Letrozole is a type of drug called an aromatase inhibitor. Aromatase inhibitors work by limiting the ability of an enzyme called aromatase to create estrogen
– a major growth factor in hormonereceptor positive breast cancers.
These drugs
AANCART is the first federal program and the largest specifically at curbing cancer in Asian
Americans have been shown to almost completely suppress estrogen levels in post-menopausal women.
This international randomized study involved more than 5,000 postmenopausal women from Canada, the
United States, and
Europe in which half of the women were given letrozole and the other half were given a placebo – an inactive pill that looks like letrozole. Neither the doctors nor the women knew whether they were taking letrozole or the placebo.
For more information about breast cancer, this study, and letrozole, call the
National Cancer Institute’s Cancer
Information Service at 1-800-4at Straub Clinic & Hospital, serves as the national AANCART clinical director, as well as Hawai‘i AANCART’s principal investigator. The Hawai‘i AANCART aimed steering committee is composed of partners from the following agencies:
Straub Clinic & Hospital –
Dr. Reuben Guerrero , medical oncologist and
AANCART clinical director;
NCI’s Cancer Information
Service – Hali Robinett , project director; Cancer
Research Center of Hawai‘i,
University of Hawai‘i – Dr.
Abraham Nomura , professor and researcher and
AANCART research director; American Cancer Society Hawai‘i
Pacific Inc. – Stephen Jiang , health initiatives director; and Hawai‘i State
Department of Health Prevention and
Tobacco Coalition – Lila Johnson , coalition coordinator.
Studies have shown that it takes about three generations for immigrants to become westernized and acculturated to its adopted country. Meanwhile, among first generation Filipinos, cancer rates may be increasing significantly. To facilitate its work with Hawai‘i’s Filipino population, the AANCART project is forging partnerships with the Kauai
Filipino Community Council, Oahu
Filipino Community Council, United
Filipino Community Council of Hawai‘i, which is the umbrella organization for more than 200 Filipino organizations, and other institutions serving Filipinos.
A leadership forum was held February
28 on Oahu and another forum was held CANCER (1-800-422-6237) Monday to
Friday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or visit www.cancer.gov. on March 20 on Kauai. The forums are designed to raise awareness, provide training, and empower Filipino leaders to be informed. They are the major stakeholders who can play a vital role in reducing the burden of cancer in their communities. Through these forums, attendees have the opportunity to learn what cancer is and how the disease

Director’s Message
(continued from page 1) for skilled tradesmen and women.
Related to the new Cancer Center location… The Hawai‘i Community
Development Authority, the entity overseeing Kakaako, has extended our right to negotiate for a site for another six months. Currently, we are evaluating the possibility of a “design-build” arrangement with a private developer.
We will let you know as soon as we have good news.
To generate funds for a new comprehensive center, we are fundraising in many ways. One of those ways is through the Friends’ signature event called The Mauka Makai. We hope to see you in September at that enjoyable night. More information will follow.
For more than two-and-a-half decades,
Frank Haines , one of Hawai’i’s leading architects, has served as a board member of the Friends. His insight into construction, the state’s economy and passion for our cause was invaluable. He is stepping down after a great contribution. Mahalo Frank.
Thank you for your continued support of the Center.
Sincerely,

Bequest Gifts Express Faith in the Future
The Cancer Research Center of Hawai‘i benefits greatly from bequests and other estate gifts it receives through the University of Hawai‘i Foundation’s planned gifts program. This is the first in a series of articles about these essential gifts.
G lendon Lawson , a schoolteacher and principal from Kansas, enjoyed a quiet retirement with his wife Rowena in Hawai‘i, where their love of art and music thrived.
After losing Rowena to cancer in 1987,
Glendon lived out his life in Hawai‘i until his passing at age 90.
Just as he invested in the future by dedicating his life to education,
Glendon continued this investment by making sure his life savings – and, in fact, his entire estate – would support the Cancer Research Center of Hawai‘i.
Through a revocable living trust, he retained the use of his assets for his lifetime, and determined what these assets would support after his passing.
Glendon’s unrestricted bequest gift – which included cash, stocks and bonds, a Waikiki condominium, and retirement fund assets – is enabling the
Cancer Research Center to reduce the burden of cancer through research, education, and service, and take advantage of the diverse ethnic, cultural, and environmental characteristics that our location in Hawai‘i offers our researchers. We are very grateful to Glendon for this extraordinary act of generosity and expression of faith in the future.
If you would like to make a provision in your will or revocable trust to benefit the
Cancer Research Center of Hawai‘i, please contact, in confidence, Betty Mastrantonio , Director of Development for
CRCH, at (808) 564-5984, or email giftplanning@uhf.hawaii.edu.
If you have already made such a provision, please notify us so we may express our gratitude and invite you to join our Heritage Society.

The Cancer Research Center of
Hawai‘i Mission Statement
The mission of the Cancer Research Center of
Hawai‘i is to reduce the burden of cancer through research, education, and service with an emphasis on the unique ethnic, cultural, and environmental characteristics of Hawai‘i and the Pacific.
Filipino Immigrants
(continued from page 5) affects Filipinos in Hawai‘i; share their insights on barriers to cancer prevention, screening, treatment, and survivorship faced by Filipinos; recommend actions to reduce the cancer burden; and contribute input to a strategic planning tool that will be made available to Filipino organizations and agencies to facilitate partnerships with other cancer stakeholders to promote good health for present and future generations.
Successes and lessons learned will also facilitate capacity building strategies for cancer and tobacco control measures for other Asian groups. This aids in positioning Hawai‘i AANCART to become a full project site in the next generation of the Special Populations
Network five-year funding cycle.

Exciting Work
Director’s Message
Aloha and Hafa
Adai! (a Chamorro greeting),
Representatives of the University of
Guam (UOG) visited the Center recently to discuss our exciting work
Dr. Carl-Wilhelm Vogel resulting from the $3.6 million
National Cancer Institute grant. We are assisting UOG to develop its research infrastructure and expertise as well as to train its students to become future researchers.
A long-term goal is to increase the number of minority scientists (particularly of Pacific Island ancestry) who will participate in cancer research and other cancer-related activities. The results will be very important and will provide valuable information in the battle against cancer.
On February 18th, U.S. Senators
Daniel K. Inouye and Daniel Akaka presided at a hearing about the Cancer
Center. This was a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor,
Health and Human Services, and
Education hearing, on behalf of Chairman Arlen Specter .
Those testifying demonstrated the important role the Cancer Research
Center of Hawai‘i plays in national cancer research. The other issues addressed were the Hawai‘i 3R’s program and the anticipated demand

Fundraising
2003 Terry Fox Run/Walk Events at Hualalai and
Wailea Support Cancer Research in a Big Way
T he Friends of the Cancer Research
Center recently received more than $26,300 from the 2003 Terry
Fox Run/Walk at the Four Seasons
Resort at Hualalai in September. This was the fifth consecutive year that the events at Hualalai have benefited the
Cancer Research Center, with the dollar amount of each year’s donation steadily increasing. Seventeen volunteers from the Center flew to the Big Island, compliments of Aloha Airlines, to provide staffing assistance at the gala dinner and silent auction and run/walk.
