The American Cancer Society’s third cancer prevention study is currently enrolling adults ages 30 to 65.
Cancer Prevention Study-3 will enroll a diverse population of up to half a million people across the U.S. and Puerto Rico to participate in the long-term study. Two enrollment events are scheduled to take place in Vancouver.
Men and women ages 30 to 65 who have never been diagnosed with cancer are eligible.
To enroll, individuals will go to an enrollment location where they will be asked to read and sign an informed consent form, complete a brief survey, have their waist circumference measured, and give a small blood sample. The process will take about 20 to 30 minutes.
The American Cancer Society will continue to send periodic follow-up surveys to update participant information and annual newsletters with study updates and results. The surveys will be sent every few years and can be completed at home. The study will last 20 to 30 years.
