Cancer Prevention Study - ACS

I am on pretty much every cancer email list that exists these days - I received this info from the American Cancer Society yesterday - please check it out.

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 Relay For Life events in your community.

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.

For more information about CPS-3 and the Relay For Life events where enrollment will take place, read the documents below or email cps3@cancer.org or call toll-free 1-888-604-5888.

I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
-Edward Everett Hale
