Cancer Prevention Study Kick-off Set for Aug. 6

What if an hour of your time every two years could spare someone from hearing the words "You have cancer?"

This year, you can join the movement to help create a world with less cancer and more birthdays by enrolling in the American Cancer Society’s research study called Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3).

The ultimate goal of CPS-3 is to enroll men and women from various racial/ethnic backgrounds from across the U.S. to better understand the lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer—and it’s our hope that the effort will save lives.

On Tuesday, Aug. 6, you can learn about CPS-3 of West Georgia during the Cancer Prevention Study Kick-off at the Paulding County Chamber of Commerce, 455 Jimmy Campbell Parkway, Dallas. All are welcome to come and learn about who qualifies, what is required and more with this great volunteer opportunity.

Registration and breakfast will begin at 7 a.m., with the one-hour program beginning at 7:30 a.m.

For more information or to register for the study, you can visit www.cps3westga.org.
