Phase N/A

The Connect for Cancer Prevention Study is a research project by the National Cancer Institute. This study aims to understand what causes cancer and how to prevent it. Participants help researchers learn about how lifestyle, genes, and health history may affect cancer risk. The study includes 200,000 adults aged 30 to 70, who have never had cancer, except non-melanoma skin cancer or conditions like DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). Participants will sign up online and share their health information over time. They will provide samples like blood, urine, and saliva every few years, and may also share data from health devices like fitness trackers. The study will last many years, but participants can leave anytime.

  • Participation involves sharing health data and samples over many years.
  • The study is safe; all information is kept private and secure.
  • Participants can withdraw from the study at any time.
