Popis:	This article describes the experience of the Culturally Appropriate Patient Support System (CAPSS), a project designed to help Asian leukemia patients with limited English proficiency in obtaining a bone marrow transplant. The California Endowment funded this two-year program to provide simultaneous translation and interpretation and case management services to Korean- and Vietnamese-speaking leukemia patients in Los Angeles and Orange counties in California. The CAPSS project was based on the assumption that understanding the significance of cultural influences and language difficulties on health beliefs and health behavior is fundamental to the development of successful programs for Asians and Pacific Islander (API) cancer patients. This article focuses on the Korean-speaking element of the program, and evaluates the extent to which program goals were met. It concludes with recommendations for future programs targeting Asian cancer patients with limited English proficiency.
