  • 1. Number and rates of new primary cancer cases, by stage at diagnosis, selected cancer type, age group and sex
    Table: 13-10-0761-01
    Geography: Canada, Province or territory
    Frequency: Annual
    Description:

    Number and rate of new cancer cases by stage at diagnosis from 2011 to the most recent diagnosis year available. Included are colorectal, lung, breast, cervical and prostate cancer with cases defined using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Groups for Primary Site based on the World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Third Edition (ICD-O-3). Random rounding of case counts to the nearest multiple of 5 is used to prevent inappropriate disclosure of health-related information.

    Description:

    Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in Canadian men. This study reports on trends in prostate cancer incidence, mortality, and stage at diagnosis in Canada from 1992 to 2015. It builds on previous Statistics Canada work by providing an up-to-date and in-depth analysis of trends in prostate cancer incidence, mortality and stage at diagnosis over time and by age group, including the impact of the updated (2014) Canadian prostate cancer screening guidelines. Data are from Statistics Canada's Canadian Cancer Registry and the Canadian Vital Statistics - Death Database Statistics Canada.

    Description:

    Among people aged 15 or older who were diagnosed with cancer in1992, five-year relative survival rates were highest for prostate and breast cancer and lowest for lung cancer. Prognoses for prostate and breast cancer were poorer at younger and older ages. Colorectal cancer relative survival rates varied little by age. Relative survival rates for lung cancer decreased with age among both sexes.

    Description:

    Five-year relative survival ratios for prostate and breast cancer rose substantially in the 1985 to 1987 and the 1992 to 1994 periods. Increases in survival ratios for colorectal cancer over the same periods were smaller, but still statistically significant. Relative survival for lung cancer changed little.

  • 8. Cancer incidence and mortality, 1997 Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X19960043024
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    In 1997, there will be an estimated 130,800 new cases of cancer and 60,700 deaths from the disease, an increase of one third and one quarter, respectively, over 1987. These increases are due mainly to the growth and aging of the population. (All figures exclude non-melanoma skin cancer.) In 1997, three types of cancer will account for at least half of all new cases in men and women: prostate, lung and colorectal cancer for men; breast, lung and colorectal cancer for women. Lung cancer will be the leading cause of cancer death in 1997, resulting in one-third of cancer deaths for men and almost one-quarter of cancer deaths for women. Among women, overall trends in age-standardized rates of cancer incidence and mortality have remained relatively stable since 1985, as large increases in the rate of lung cancer have been offset by declining or stable rates for most other forms. Among men, the overall incidence rate is rising slightly as a result of the sharp increase in the incidence of prostate cancer. The mortality rate for men peaked in 1988 and has since declined, because of decreases in the rates for lung, colorectal and some other cancers. This article presents information on trends since the mid-1980s in cancer incidence and mortality, adapted from Canadian Cancer Statistics 1987.

  • 1. 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.

Sort Help

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides four options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
  • By most popular – gives priority to results that are most frequently selected by users, followed by the most recent.
  • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
  • By title – sorts results alphabetically.
