Dr. James T. Kakuda Cancer Center at Pali Momi Medical Center

The Dr. James T. Kakuda Cancer Center at Pali Momi Medical Center opened in 2017 as the first integrated cancer center of its kind serving Central and West Oʻahu.

Nationally accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, the center provides a full spectrum of cancer services in one centralized location.

Patients can receive care at a single facility close to home. This convenience is especially helpful for patients in active treatment, as it eliminates the need to travel to multiple locations or across long distances to keep up with rigorous schedules.

As part of the Hawaiʻi Pacific Health Cancer Centers, Pali Momi provides coordinated, multidisciplinary cancer care. Dedicated care teams collaborate across specialties, resulting in more efficient care, better outcomes, and an improved patient experience – from diagnosis to survivorship.

A Full Range of Cancer Services
Cancer treatment services available at the Pali Momi Cancer Center include:

• Antibiotics
• Biotherapy
• Blood transfusions
• Chemotherapy
• Hormone therapy
• Hydration and supportive care
• Immunotherapy
• Infusion
• Therapeutic phlebotomy

Additional Services

• Medical oncology
• Radiation oncology through a collaboration with the Cancer Center of Hawaiʻi
• Surgical care

Members of the Pali Momi Cancer Center nursing team are specially trained in oncology care, are board certified, and hold chemotherapy and biotherapy provider cards from the Oncology Nursing Society.

Navigating the cancer care journey can be challenging and overwhelming, especially when faced with a new diagnosis. At Hawaiʻi Pacific Health, we believe patients should not have to face this journey alone.

Following diagnosis, patients are supported through our Patient Navigation Program and are assigned a dedicated navigation team that may include registered nurses, licensed social workers, and other specialized professionals.

Patients are also invited to attend cancer support groups with current patients, survivors, and their families.
