survey, provide a waist
measurement, and give a
small blood sample. The
enrollment process is
complete when
individuals complete the
more comprehensive
baseline survey. Over the
course of the study, which
is anticipated to last 20 to
30 years, participants will
be asked to fill out followup
surveys every few
years that will be sent to
their home.
“This is a once-in-ageneration
opportunity to
participate in lifesaving
cancer research,” said Pat
Curl, health systems
director for the American
Cancer Society. ”We hope
to enroll at least 350
individuals and we need
the community’s support
to meet that goal. We
encourage all who have
had a loved one affected
by cancer to participate.”
Researchers will use
the data from CPS-3 to
build on evidence from a
series of American Cancer
Society studies that
began in the 1950s that
collectively have involved
millions of volunteer
participants. The
Hammond-Horn Study
and previous Cancer
Prevention Studies (CPS-
I, and CPS-II) have
played a major role in
understanding cancer
prevention and risk, and
have contributed
significantly to the
scientific basis and
development of public
health guidelines and
recommendations.
Those studies
confirmed the link
between cigarette
smoking and lung cancer,
demonstrated the link
between larger waist size
and increased death rates
from cancer and other
causes, and showed the
considerable impact of air
pollution on heart and
lung conditions.
