Everything we know about cancer,we know from previous cancer studies.
“Everyone knows that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer. Few realize that it took three years, 22,000 volunteers, and 188,000 study participants to prove it.” -Meghan Murphy, 2007
Significant factors identified in previous studies:1) Smoking2) Diet & obesity3) Active or sedentary lifestyle4) Connection to air pollution5) Connection to diabetes and certain cancers6) Aspirin use to decrease risk of colon cancer.

Why are WE dying from cancer at the highest rates in the
country?

Purpose of Cancer Prevention Study 3 (CPS-3)
To better understand the factors that cause or can prevent cancer:
• Lifestyle• Environmental• Genetic factors.
To help eliminate cancer as a major health concern for this and future generations .To understand why Louisiana is lagging the rest of the nation in cancer prevention.

Cigarette smoking as a cause of several types of cancers.Being overweight as a cause of cancer.Increased risk from pollution and cardio-pulmonary conditions.Connection between Hormone Replacement Therapy and Gynecologic CancersConnection between Diabetes and Cancer of the Colon and Prostate.
That Aspirin Use DECREASES risk of Colon CancerThat increased Physical Activity DECREASES risk of breast, colon, and Prostate Cancer

Importance of CPS-3 (2012-2013)
• One of the largest study samples in history.• Will make use of blood analysis, allowing
study of metabolic, microbial, hormonal, nutrient, and genetic effects on cancer.
• Seeks to address under-representation of minority communities of previous cancer studies.
