Cancer Prevention Study-3

This year the American Cancer Society is celebrating its 100th

birthday! While the progress we’ve help make in the past 100 years is

remarkable, there’s still more work to be done.

To better understand ways to
prevent cancer, the American Cancer Society is recruiting men and women across
the US and Puerto Rico for a landmark new research study – Cancer Prevention
Study-3 (CPS-3). Enrollment is being made possible in partnership with Buck Distributing, Inc. on Wednesday, September 18, 2013, 10:00 am – 1:30 pm.

Individuals may choose to participate if they are
willing to make a long-term commitment to the study (which involves completing
follow-up surveys periodically over the next 20-30 years), are between the ages

of 30 and 65 years old and have never been diagnosed with cancer.
