Canadian Forces Cancer and Mortality Study

The Canadian Forces Health Services Group is committed to the care and support of our men and women in uniform, our veterans and the wider CF family.

The Canadian Forces Cancer and Mortality Study (CF CAMS) will provide new information about causes of death and the incidence of cancer for persons with a history of service in the CF, which will inform research, policy and program development.

The study will also allow the CF leadership to better understand the health of its personnel during and after service.

CF CAMS is led and funded by the Canadian Forces Health Services Group and conducted in collaboration with Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) and Statistics Canada.

The initial mortality report is now available on the Statistics Canada website. Part 2 of the study showing cancer results is expected in 2012.

Note: This study uses CF administrative data. Therefore, there is no requirement for current or retired personnel to register or volunteer.
