Prevent Cancer-Greenville Observational Study
This study, called Prevent Cancer-Greenville, is looking at how personal lifestyle, family history, and environmental exposures might affect your risk of developing cancer. Researchers will collect information about your personal history, lifestyle habits, and samples like blood, urine, and cheek swabs. They want to see if there are changes or trends that could put you at a higher risk for cancer. If you are found to be at high risk, you will be referred to a healthcare provider for further care. The study aims to understand how nutrition, physical activity, and smoking habits change over time to help identify cancer risks. This study is observational, meaning it watches and collects information without giving any specific treatments.
