Fowler YMCA Joins The Fight Against Cancer

As part of a research study, the Peachtree Corners Y is teaming up with the American Cancer Society in recruiting men and women who have never been diagnosed with cancer for the study.

Cancer is a word heard too often today.

That is why Fowler YMCA is fighting back against this disease with the American Cancer Society – by encouraging individuals between the ages of 30 and 65, who have never been diagnosed with cancer, to take part in the Cancer Prevention Study-3 ( CPS-3).

To better understand ways to prevent cancer, the American Cancer Society is recruiting men and women across the US for this research study that will help researchers better understand the lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer and will save lives.
