All we need is about 90 more people to sign up to reach our community’s goal of having 250 area residents participate in the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS3).
The study is designed to help researchers understand the genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that cause or prevent cancer. Participants will enroll and schedule a time on Nov. 13 or 14 to have blood drawn at PowerSouth, the Cancer Society’s local corporate partner. Meanwhile, they will complete a comprehensive survey, expected to take about 45 minutes, about their health and family histories.
This is a simple thing that anyone between the ages of 30 and 65 who’s never had cancer can do to help scientists determine causes and preventions. Participation costs the trouble of completing a survey and a quick physical next week.
If you or anyone you know fits the criteria, please take time to enroll. The process is simple. Visit www.cps3covington.org or call toll-free, 1.888.604.5888.
