What if you could do something today to fight against cancer, change lives, and impact people for generations to come?

The American Cancer Society is working on one of its biggest research projects ever – a ground-breaking study that will have an enormous impact on our ability to prevent cancer and create more birthdays – and we need your help.

We are inviting men and women between the ages of 30 and 65 years who have never had cancer to join the 3rd generation American Cancer Society's Cancer Prevention Study (or CPS-3). This study will help us better understand what causes cancer and how to prevent it, so we can saves lives and create a world with less cancer.

Want to participate in the ground-breaking CPS-3 study to help prevent cancer? Schedule an enrollment appointment in your area today!

For each generation, the American Cancer Society conducts what we call a Cancer Prevention Study (CPS). Researchers follow that generation, so researchers can use the information and apply what they learn to the next generation to save more lives. The ultimate goal of this historic research study is to enroll at least 300,000 adults from various racial/ethnic backgrounds from across the United States.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a part of the research that may change the course of cancer forever. Enrollment will take place May 9 – 11, 2013 at Jupiter Medical Center. To see the schedule of dates, times and locations please click here.

3. Go to your appointment where you will complete a brief survey, sign an informed consent, provide a waist circumference measurement and a small blood sample (similar to a doctor's visit). Your in-person enrollment should last no longer than 30 minutes.
