Historic Cancer Study at Lawrence Hospital: Candidates Needed

Lawrence Hospital is looking for candidates who are willing to take part in a cancer study.

Lawrence Hospital in nearby Bronxville is looking for participants in what they are calling a "historic study."

The study is part of the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3).

The details from the hospital:

On Wednesday, March 13, 2013, Lawrence Hospital Center will host an enrollment event for a historic study that has the potential to change the face of cancer for future generations.

Men and women between the ages of 30 and 65 who have never been diagnosed with cancer are needed to participate in the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). Testing will take place from 10am to 2pm.

To enroll in the study, participants will be asked to read and sign an informed consent form, complete a brief survey, have their waist measured and give a small blood sample.

If you are interested in becoming involved with CPS-3, visit www.cps3westchester.org or call toll-free 1-888-604-5888.

Linda T., I would guess Mrs. Brakewood lives in Port Chester if she is running for the Port ChesterRead More Board of Ed. Even if the schools had to impose an austerity budget, your taxes would still go up. The state has more control in these matters than you think.

Linda, the per pupil expenditure in PC schools is the lowest in Westchester and Rockland countiesRead More ... by about $2,000 per student. The issue is two fold. First, our property values are not as strong as our neighbors, so our homes have a higher levy in order to fund the schools. Second, and more important, is that the reliance on property taxes slams moderate income communities like PC. We need for the state to move to an income tax to fund schools. Scream at your legislators ... not the BoE.

I am concerned there is not enough attention to detail in the BOE budget overall and Mrs. BrakewoodRead More comment about keeping taxes affordable ... where does she live ? they are out of control and in my opinion the money we pay for taxes we should have the best looking schools anywhere ... just my opinion
