LEXINGTON, Ky. - A long-term cancer research project is getting underway across the country, and enrollment in Kentucky starts this week.Beginning Tuesday, the American Cancer Society will sign up volunteers for its Cancer Prevention Study-3. It’s a longitudinal analysis of the various factors that cause or prevent cancer. Spokeswoman Stephanie Feger says participants will take a survey, have their waist measured, and give a small blood sample.
“Over the next 20-30 years, every two-three years the American Cancer Society will mail you a survey to update any of your lifestyle or behavioral or medical information.”
Volunteers can be men or women between the ages of 30 and 65 who have never been diagnosed with cancer before.
“Previous cancer studies that the American Cancer Society has embarked upon found important information such as the links between lung cancer and smoking or the link between obesity and increased cancer risk. So who knows what types of links this particular study will help extrapolate?” says Feger.
The American Cancer Society anticipates enrollment of around 500,000 people across the United States and Puerto Rico.
