Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow Project

Official Launch of a Canadian 30-Year Cancer Prevention Study
The Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow Project will be a study of 300,000 Canadians from across the country "that explores how genetics, environment, lifestyle and behaviour contribute to the development of cancer."

One of the largest studies of its kind, the intention is to track "randomly selected Canadians (ages 35 to 69) for at least the next 20 to 30 years", gathering information on health and lifestyle; along with data from laboratory tests. The information will help researchers, policy-makers and others understand how different combinations of risk-factors may contribute to cancer.
