Cancer
Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3)
Research today for a cancer-free tomorrow.
The
American Cancer Society’s Department of Epidemiology
and Surveillance Research is inviting men and
women between the ages of 30 and 65 years
who have no personal history of cancer to join a historic
research study. The ultimate goal is to enroll
500,000 adults from
various racial/ethnic backgrounds from
across the U.S. The purpose of CPS-3 is to
better understand the lifestyle, behavioral, environmental
and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer
and to ultimately eliminate cancer as a
major health problem for this and future
generations.
Study enrollment will take place at this year's Relay
For Life of Pottstown.

CPS-3
is a grassroots effort where local communities from
across the
country can support cancer research not just
through fundraising
efforts like Relay For Life, but also
by participating actively in
this historic research study.
