Help fight cancer
The New York Cancer Project is seeking New York City area teachers to help track cancer. Volunteers give a small blood sample and provide personal and family medical history. The study seeks to find ethnic predispositions or biological markers that predispose women and men to certain kinds of cancer.
The Cancer Project is operating at 37 teaching hospitals and medical schools. If eight or more teachers from one school choose to volunteer, Cancer Project organizers will send someone into the school to collect the samples on site.
For more info, contact North General Hospital at (212) 423-1441 or Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx at (718) 430-3228 for English and (718) 430-3287 for Spanish.
