The American Cancer Society Relay For Life – Easton is seeking participants for a Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3) to take place June 15, 2012, Metzgar Field at Lafayette College near Braden Airport. Anyone between the ages of 30-65 who has never been diagnosed with cancer is eligible to participate.
The CPS-3 builds on a history of American Cancer Society-sponsored follow-up studies which started in the 1950s and have provided insight into the causes of cancer. Key findings from previous studies include the effect of cigarette smoking and secondhand smoke on lung cancer and premature death.
The study involves two steps: one in person at the Relay and one at home. At the Relay, participants will be asked to sign in, complete a brief survey, provide some physical measurements, and give a small blood sample drawn by a certified phlebotomist. At home, participants will need to complete a survey. Follow-up surveys will be mailed every few years to update information.
