Screening Trial, the largest cancer screening trial ever conducted in the United States. The study is in its 17th year and now follows 10,800 participants in Hawaii and 155,000 participants nationwide.

PHRI has an extensive history as a pioneer of cancer research in Hawaii. The Institute introduced mammography screenings in Hawaii in the 1970s through the Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Project. Under the guidance of Dr. Fred Gilbert, PHRI founder, 10,000 women in Hawaii were screened for breast cancer as a part of the project.
