Subject: CF Cancer and Mortality Study
Hello Sir/Madam
I wanted to thank everyone who has emailed and contacted me regarding the CF Cancer and Mortality Study (CF CAMS). The interest and support from you all has been very encouraging. As well, I would like to take this opportunity to explain a few more things about CF CAMS. A number of people have emailed me asking to participate in the study however, since the DND database will be linked by Statistics Canada to the national cancer database, anyone who enrolled after 01 January 1972 and developed cancer before 31 December 31 2009 would be included in the study automatically. It would be very helpful if you could post this information on your websites, face book pages and other electronic communication networks so that those who served or still serve in the CF are aware that there is no need to self-identify. Please note that we are limited with the start date of 1972 as this is when DND administrative data became available electronically. The follow-up period of December 31, 2009 for cancer reflects the most recent data available at Statistics Canada. For mortality, the follow-up date at Statistics Canada is December 31, 2006. Even if you joined before 1972 or developed cancer after 2009, the information obtained from this study will be very helpful in examining trends and risk factors for cancer and mortality among persons with a history of military service in Canada. For more information about CF CAMS, please have a look at the following DND or VAC websites where reports and updates about the study will be posted as they become available.
