  • 12. Population health impact of cancer in Canada, 2001 Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-005-X20060019097
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This newsletter article presents estimates of the population health impact of cancer in Canada, based on cancer incidence and mortality in 2001. Cancer has a substantial impact in terms of both mortality and morbidity, and a considerable amount of this impact is attributable to modifiable risk factors. These results provide a more comprehensive picture of how cancer affects the Canadian population. This is part of the Population Health Impact of Disease in Canada (PHI) research program.

  • 13. Health State Descriptions for Canadians: Cancers Archived
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 82-619-M2005001
    Description:

    This document examines the functional limitations - physical, emotional and social -experienced by patients at the time of diagnosis of cancer and as they undergo various treatments, remission, and palliative and terminal care. These functional limitations are described and classified using the Classification and Measurement System of Functional Health (CLAMES).

    These descriptions and classifications are the first step in a new approach to measuring the health of Canadians that examines what factors are adversely affecting population health and how to address them. This document also provides health professionals, advocacy groups, and individual Canadians with an overview of how living with cancer affects day-to-day functioning.

  • 2. Uncertainties in estimates of radon lung cancer risks Archived
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 11-522-X19990015658
    Description:

    Radon, a naturally occurring gas found at some level in most homes, is an established risk factor for human lung cancer. The U.S. National Research Council (1999) has recently completed a comprehensive evaluation of the health risks of residential exposure to radon, and developed models for projecting radon lung cancer risks in the general population. This analysis suggests that radon may play a role in the etiology of 10-15% of all lung cancer cases in the United States, although these estimates are subject to considerable uncertainty. In this article, we present a partial analysis of uncertainty and variability in estimates of lung cancer risk due to residential exposure to radon in the United States using a general framework for the analysis of uncertainty and variability that we have developed previously. Specifically, we focus on estimates of the age-specific excess relative risk (ERR) and lifetime relative risk (LRR), both of which vary substantially among individuals.
