Welcome and Thank You!
Welcome to our 7th annual Australian Breakthrough Cancer (ABC) Study newsletter. You joined the ABC Study by registering online at www.abcstudy.com.au. The ABC Study is a long-term cohort study started in 2014 to investigate the causes of cancer and other diseases. The information that you provide will help us gain a better understanding of the role that our genes, lifestyle and environment play in the development of cancer and other diseases.
In this newsletter we tell you about the study’s progress, explain the importance to the study of collecting a blood sample from you, share some recent presentations, and tell you about a new pilot study of sleep health that will be conducted within the ABC Study. |
