CANCER PREVENTION STUDY-3: Research today for a cancer-free tomorrow.
To better understand ways to prevent cancer, the American Cancer Society is recruiting men and women across the U.S. and Puerto Rico for a landmark new research study – Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). CPS-3 will help researchers better understand the lifestyle, genetic and environmental factors that may cause or prevent cancer.
On November 7 & 9, 2013, the opportunity to enroll in CPS-3 in Montgomery County will be made possible in partnership with MedStar Montgomery Medical in Olney.
