Minnesotans asked to help find answers to cancer By John Michaelson Minnesota News Connection The search is on for thousands of Minnesotans who may be able to help researchers find the answers to cancer. The American Cancer Society is looking to enroll 300,000 people nationwide to take part in Cancer Prevention Study 3. In Minnesota, said principal investigator Alpa Patel, researchers are looking for about 4,000 participants. “And then, we have some enrollments happening — St. Cloud and the Twin Cities — within the next couple of months,” she said.

in the 1950s, cancer was virtually always a death sentence,” she said. “Today, the majority of people who hear those words ‘You have cancer’ survive that cancer diagnosis. So, we’ve made tremendous progress, and this is re-

ally our generation’s time to pay it forward for our kids and our kids’ kids.” Despite the progress, she noted, one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in her lifetime. For men, it’s one in two.

The most recent Cancer Prevention Study found a link between obesity and 10 common cancers. The first study led to evidence linking smoking and lung cancer. More information is online at cancer.org.
