Studies like this one have demonstrated the link between smoking and lung cancer, obesity and increased death rates from many cancers, and that prolonged sitting shortens longevity. These studies also inform me to let you know all the things you can do to prevent breast cancer.
This study aims to get 300,000 participants, ages 30-65 yo for a 20-30 year study. You may make your appointment online and fill out most of the paper work at https://www.seeuthere.com/rsvp/invitation/invitation.asp?id=/m1c9c3bc-1I2OXR2SE2N44. Then you make an appointment for waist measure, signing the forms and getting blood drawn--about 20 minutes. After that you will get a form to complete at home every 2-3 years and the satisfaction of knowing you are helping!
Why is this important?
- to track the impact of obesity, nutrition and activity on death rates
- to identify NEW risk factors in the environment, lifestyle and medications
- to expand our knowledge of cancer risk factors
- to improve our understanding of cancer biology and causes
- to improve risk prediction
Why is CPS-3 different?
- Higher proportion of younger adults (age 30-65 years)
- Information from blood drawn (genetics, etc)
- Physical assessment (waist measure)
- Detailed baseline medical history
- Greater ethnic/racial diversity
Your participation might save your life or the life of a loved one. This study is not just limited to women and breast cancer, but includes Men, Hispanics and African Americans, who have been under-represented in most population studies.
You may find out more at https://www.seeuthere.com/rsvp/invitation/invitation.asp?id=/m1c9c3bc-1I2OXR2SE2N44. In Austin the times are February 29, March 1,4 and 6. You may also call to make your appointment 888-604-5888.
Together we can prevent 75,000 breast cancer cases each year...and many others!
