What if you could prevent even one family from hearing the words “you have cancer”?
 

This year, you can fight back against cancer by enrolling in the American Cancer Society’s new research study called the Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). By joining CPS-3, you can help researchers better understand the genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that cause or prevent cancer, which will ultimately save lives.
   
Who can join the study? How can you participate?
The study is open to anyone who: Enrollment is free and will take place at various locations throughout metro Atlanta during March 24 - March 31, 2011.
  • Is between 30 and 65 years old
  • Has never been diagnosed with cancer (not including basal or squamous cell skin cancer)
  • Is willing to make a long-term commitment to the study, which involves completing periodic follow-up surveys at home

     

    “If participating in this study could mean that even just one person could be spared a cancer diagnosis, it would be the most important and meaningful action to fight cancer.”
