癌症意识测量工具（Cancer Awareness Measure，CAM）于2007-2008年开发，旨在填补缺乏经过验证的公众癌症意识测量工具的空白（Stubbings, S.、Robb, K.、Waller, J.、Ramirez, A.、Austoker, J.、Macleod, U.、Hion, S.及Wardle, J.，2009年，《开发评估公众癌症意识的测量工具》，《英国癌症杂志》，101(2)，S13-S17）。

该调查包含对癌症症状与体征、癌症风险因素、年龄相关风险、筛查项目以及就医（看全科医生）潜在障碍的意识测量。此后，英国癌症研究中心（Cancer Research UK，CRUK）对该调查进行了重大修订和更新，新增了更多问题，并将数据收集方式从面对面改为线上。

2023-2024年，英国癌症研究中心开展了两项地方性癌症意识增强测量工具（Local Cancer Awareness Measure Plus，CAM+）试点项目，在大曼彻斯特以及莱斯特、莱斯特郡和拉特兰（LLR）两个地区通过线上面板和社区抽样招募参与者并收集数据。大曼彻斯特试点的地方性CAM+数据集可通过编号SN 9342和9358获取。

LLR试点的地方性CAM+数据集不包含全国性CAM+中关于酒精消费、身体活动、对医疗服务能力的认知以及与癌症的亲近度等问题，但新增了关于癌症筛查参与的潜在促进因素以及为医院检查出行意愿的额外问题。

本研究的最终用户许可版本可通过编号SN 9343获取。
