- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202301200002Description: The validity of survival estimates from cancer registry data depends, in part, on the identification of the deaths of deceased cancer patients. People whose deaths are missed seemingly live on forever and are informally referred to as “immortals”, and their presence in registry data can result in inflated survival estimates. This study assesses the issue of immortals in the Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) using a recently proposed method that compares the survival of long-term survivors of cancers for which “statistical” cure has been reported with that of similar people from the general population.Release date: 2023-12-20
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202300100001Description: Cancer survival estimates provide insights into the effectiveness of early detection and treatment. The stage of cancer at diagnosis is an important determinant of survival, reflecting the extent and spread at the time of disease detection. The recent extension of the Canadian Cancer Registry death-linked analytic file from 2014 to 2017 now offers an opportunity to provide more up-to-date net survival (NS) figures and to profile, for the first time, five-year NS estimates for Canada (excluding Quebec). This study presents five-year stage-specific cancer and five-year NS estimates for the most commonly diagnosed cancers in Canada.Release date: 2023-01-18
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202200600002Description:
An evaluation of progress in cancer survival in Canada for all cancer types combined was recently conducted using the cancer survival index. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of provincial-level progress in cancer survival for all cancer types combined in Canada.
Release date: 2022-06-15 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X202100900002Description:
This study is the first comprehensive evaluation of progress in cancer survival for all cancer types combined in Canada. The results span the complete time period of the Canadian Cancer Registry and are unaffected by changes in the age, sex and case-mix of cancers over this time. Specifically, predicted Canadian net cancer survival index (CSI) estimates for the three-year period from 2015 to 2017 are presented and compared with corresponding actual estimates dating as far back as the 1992-to-1994 period. Comparisons are made for both sexes combined and for males and females separately. Further insight is provided by the determination of the most influential cancer and sex combinations and the leading cancer types within each sex, in regard to changes in the CSI since the periods of 1992 to 1994 and 2005 to 2007.
Release date: 2021-09-15 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X202100200001Description: This study describes survival, improvement in survival over time and conditional survival for paediatric cancer patients in Canada.Release date: 2021-02-17
- 6. Changing trends in thyroid cancer incidence in Canada: A histologic examination, 1992 to 2016 ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X202000100002Description:
Using data from the Canadian Cancer Registry, this study examines thyroid cancer (TC) incidence from 1992 to 2016. It presents sex-specific incidence estimates according to age, histology and province for the most recent five-year period (2012 to 2016), and examines changes in rates over the entire period. These findings are supplemented with similar information on TC mortality and five-year net survival.
Release date: 2020-01-15 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201800900002Description:
This report provides predicted estimates of net survival (NS) for the 2012 to 2014 period. NS estimates for durations of 1, 5 and 10 years are derived for 30 of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in people aged 15 to 99. Five-year age-standardized and age-specific estimates for 2012 to 2014 are compared with corresponding figures for cases diagnosed 20 years previously.
Release date: 2018-09-19 - 8. Age-specific patterns in the incidence of, and survival from, pancreatic cancer in Canada ArchivedStats in brief: 82-624-X201700114799Description:
This article examines age-specific patterns in the national rates of newly diagnosed cases of pancreatic cancer. Age-specific measures of survival from pancreatic cancer are also examined.
Release date: 2017-04-26 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201600714645Description:
The data are from the Canadian Cancer Registry, with mortality follow-up through record linkage to the Canadian Vital Statistics Death Database. Increases in five-year relative survival ratios between 1992-to-1994 and 2006-to-2008 were calculated by age and sex for all leukemias combined and for each of the main types.
Release date: 2016-07-20 - 10. Prostate cancer trends in Canada, 1995 to 2012 ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-624-X201600114548Description:
This article presents national data on the annual rates of newly diagnosed cases of prostate cancer (incidence) and deaths due to this cancer (mortality) from 1995 to 2012. Trends in rates are presented for all ages combined and by age groups. The age distribution of both prostate cancer incidence and mortality in 2012 is compared to corresponding data from 1995.
