This study, funded by the National Cancer Institute, assessed cancer awareness and service needs in American Samoa. Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in American Samoa, yet cancer specific resources are lacking. Assistance is needed to help: 1) increase cancer outreach and community awareness; 2) increase the cancer capacity of health professionals; 3) improve laboratory capacity for cancer screening and detection; and 4) establish a comprehensive and coordinated system of cancer services.
