Cancer incidence and mortality rates among Native Hawaiians remain high despite advances in health care. The incidence of lung cancer are the highest among Native Hawaiian women and men. Breast cancer mortality rates are one of the highest nationally for Native Hawaiian women.

Improved health promotion and cancer prevention and control programs are needed.
