A computer file server containing research subject information related to
studies on causes and cures for different types of cancer was stolen from
a locked UCSF office on March 30, 2007.

The server contained files with names, contact information, and social
security numbers for study subjects and potential study subjects. For some
individuals, the files also included personal health information.

Notification letters were sent Monday, April 16, to about 3,000
individuals. Using backup files, UCSF officials are conducting an
extensive analysis of the server data to determine as quickly as possible
all the names involved in this incident.
