American Cancer Society Hosts Enrollment For Cancer Research Study in National City
WHAT: American Cancer Society’s CANCER PREVENTION STUDY-3 is seeking to enroll 200 volunteers from the South Bay communities, ages 30-65, who have never been diagnosed with cancer, for a 20-to-30 year study of 500,000 people to determine genetic and environmental causes of cancer.
WHEN: Saturday, August 13, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
WHERE: Kimball Park – site of 2011 Relay For Life of National City, 12th Street & D Ave, National City, CA
WHY: For the next 20 to 30 years, the American Cancer Society’s Research Department will follow enrollees by sending questionnaires every two years to be completed and returned. Researchers will use this data to study factors associated with cancer and ultimately find ways to prevent it.
To enroll in the study will take approximately 30-45 minutes. Eligible and interested individuals will be asked to complete a brief study questionnaire, provide a waist measurement, and give a small blood sample, similar to a doctor’s visit. Quest Diagnostics coordinates the blood donation. Soon after the registration at the Relay event, a more detailed questionnaire will arrive to collect detailed information on lifestyle, behaviors, and medical/family history.
