CORPUS CHRISTI - The American Cancer Society is conducting 3rd Cancer Prevention Study and they need the Coastal Bend's help to make a difference for the future.

The first of these studies, conducted back in the 50's actually proved that cigarettes caused cancer and made the cigarette companies put the Surgeon Generals Warning on all packs of cigarettes.

Now they are looking for 500 volunteers to take a survey to help them try and determine what kind of causes there are and how to prevent them.
