Sask. Cancer Agency seeks participants for huge health study
The Saskatchewan Cancer Agency is looking for thousands of people to join a massive health research study.
The study, dubbed Healthy Future Sask, is the local component of a 50-year pan-Canadian health study known as CanPath. The cancer agency said it’s looking for more than 7,000 Saskatchewan residents aged 30 to 74 to participate.
The study, the agency said, will create a huge data pool that will be used in future research into the causes and prevention of cancer, as well as other chronic diseases such as heart and lung disease and diabetes.
Deb Bulych, the cancer agency’s president, said she hopes Saskatchewan people pitch in and help with the important project.
