The American Cancer Society (ACS), a nationwide, community-based voluntary health organization with more than 3400 local offices throughout the United States, has worked in partnership with CIP on several initiatives. For example, ACS helped with NLST, a trial supported by CIP and the NCI Division of Cancer Prevention, by recruiting nearly 50,000 current or former smokers in just 18 months. ACS is currently assisting CIP with recruitment of patients for the National CT Colonography Trial, which needs the participation of more than 2300 Americans who already anticipate having a screening colonoscopy.
