Hawaii Cancer Care

What Hawaii Cancer Care does

Hawaii Cancer Care is a private community oncology practice headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, specializing in hematology and medical oncology services across the state. The practice operates three clinic locations — Honolulu (Waterfront Plaza), Aiea (Westridge Center), and a newly opened Kahului, Maui clinic (December 2025) — staffed by four board-certified medical oncologists and hematologists (Drs. Palalay, Tamura, Yee, Fukumoto) and supported by four or more advanced practitioners and a registered oncology dietitian. Service lines span chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, hormonal therapy, biological therapy, radiation therapy, hematology care, and advanced treatments including BiTE therapy and PROVENGE immunotherapy, complemented by clinical trial access, in-house laboratory, in-house specialty pharmacy with 24/7 assistance, telehealth, and supportive services (financial counseling, care coordination, survivorship care, CanCare emotional support, and the Empowered Healing wellness program). The practice treats 100+ cancer types and hematologic conditions and serves patients across Oahu and Maui who would otherwise need to travel to the mainland for care.

Hawaii Cancer Care has been operating for more than 20 years and in April 2024 became a partner practice of American Oncology Network (AON, Nasdaq: AONC), a national alliance of 300+ oncology providers across 20 states. The AON affiliation provides access to clinical trials, BiTE therapy rollout, revenue-diversifying ancillary services, and operational infrastructure while the practice maintains its own clinical team and brand. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service patient care billed to insurance plans and patients, in-house specialty pharmacy dispensing, telehealth consultations, and financial counseling/patient assistance services. Patient acquisition is driven by physician referrals, direct patient intake, second-opinion consultations, and content marketing via the practice website and blog. Hawaii Cancer Care is described as the only multi-location cancer care provider in the state, anchoring its distribution advantage in Hawaii's geographically isolated healthcare market.

Direct peers

• American Oncology Network: Parent alliance (Nasdaq: AONC) and direct peer to Hawaii Cancer Care as a community oncology practice network spanning 20+ states. Operates a hub-and-spoke model of partner practices with shared clinical trials, ancillary services, and specialty drug programs—the same template HCC operates within.
• US Oncology Network (McKesson): One of the largest community oncology networks in the US, owned by McKesson. Comparable as a physician-led community oncology platform offering clinical trials, technology, and operational support to affiliated practices.
• The Oncology Institute: Public community oncology practice (NASDAQ: TOI) offering medical oncology, hematology, and infusion services across multiple states. Closely comparable in care model (community-based, multi-specialty oncology, ancillary services) and serves as a useful valuation comparable.
• OneOncology: National partnership of community oncology practices providing practice management, technology, and clinical trial infrastructure. Comparable business model to AON and therefore a direct peer to Hawaii Cancer Care at the network level.

Broad incumbents

• Stanford Cancer Institute: NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center that serves as a referral destination for complex cases from the Pacific region including Hawaii. Indirect competitor for high-acuity cases that may leave the islands.
• Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute (HCA): Hospital-based cancer program within HCA Healthcare offering community oncology services and clinical trials across a large national footprint. Comparable in offering clinical trial access and community-based oncology, but operates inside a much larger hospital network.
• City of Hope: Major NCI-designated cancer center with national footprint (including acquired Cancer Treatment Centers of America sites). Represents the mainland academic destination for complex oncology cases that may bypass Hawaii community providers.

Regional players

• Pacific Cancer Foundation of Hawaii: Hawaii-based nonprofit supporting cancer patients on Maui and across the state through financial assistance and navigation services. Adjacent ecosystem participant that partners with providers like Hawaii Cancer Care for patient support.
• Queen's Medical Center (Queen's Cancer Center): Largest hospital system in Hawaii with a comprehensive cancer center including medical oncology, radiation oncology, and surgical oncology. Direct local competitor in Honolulu for cancer referrals and a key reason HCC's multi-island strategy matters.
• Hawaii Pacific Health: Multi-hospital system in Hawaii (Straub, Kapiolani, Pali Momi, Wilcox) providing oncology services across the islands. Competes with HCC for community oncology referrals and represents the integrated delivery network threat in the local market.
