Relative risks expressed as rate ratios (RRs) for the incidence of selected cancers among men in the long-term service group using the short-term service group as the reference
| Cancer site | ICD-10 | RR | 95% CI |
| All sites | C00–96 | 0.88 | 0.77 to 1.02 |
| Colon | C18 | 0.66 | 0.40 to 1.08 |
| Lung | C33–34 | 0.99 | 0.65 to 1.53 |
| Melanoma | C43 | 1.14 | 0.69 to 1.88 |
| Non-melanoma skin cancer | C44 | 1.30 | 0.79 to 2.15 |
| All skin cancers | C43–44 | 1.18 | 0.83 to 1.69 |
| Bladder, renal pelvis and other urinary organs | C65–68 | 0.71 | 0.42 to 1.19 |
| Alcohol-related cancers | * | 0.43 | 0.21 to 0.89 |
| Low-survival cancers | * | 0.89 | 0.64 to 1.24 |
| Non-low survival cancers | * | 0.88 | 0.75 to 1.03 |
Poisson regression analysis was used, with adjustment for observation period and age, providing 95% CI.
