Prevention Study

Link





I was reading on the American Cancer Society website that they are recruiting 500,000people to take part in a long-term study called the Cancer Prevention Study-3, or CPS-3 for short. The people who sign up will answer questionnaires about their what they eat, how much exercise they get, whether they smoke, etc. Over the course of 20 years, the ACS researchers will follow them to see which ones develop cancer, in hopes of learning how a person's lifestyle, environment, and genetic makeup influence who gets the disease.


If you're interested they are having enrollment next year at the following Relay For Life events here in PA:

Central Chester County: Downingtown West High School 5/16/2009
Lancaster: CV School 6/12/2009
Bethlehem: Bethlehem Area School District Stadium 6/13/2009
Latrobe: Latrobe Memorial Stadium 6/20/2009
