Cancer Prevention Studies
Cancer Prevention Studies (CPS) are designed to address a wide range of potential exposures, such as tobacco use, that may be associated with cancer. Learn more by browsing one of the areas below.
 History of the Cancer Prevention Studies
In 1952 the Statistical Research Section, forerunner of the present Department of Epidemiology & Surveillance Research, began its first large prospective cohort study, the Hammond-Horn Study, to study the effect of cigarette smoking on death rates from cancer and other diseases.
 Cancer Prevention Study Overviews
The Cancer Prevention Study I (CPS-I) is a prospective mortality study of approximately 1 million adult men and women enrolled between October 1, 1959 and February 15, 1960 and followed up through September 1972.
 Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3)
The purpose of CPS-3 is to better understand the lifestyle, behavioral, environmental and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer and to ultimately eliminate cancer as a major health problem for this and future generations.
 Publications
Find references for journal articles and book chapters related to each study. Publications from the Cancer Prevention Studies have addressed a broad range of lifestyle factors and mortality from cancer and other causes.
