Notes: Quebec is excluded because cases diagnosed in Quebec from 2011 onward had not been submitted to the Canadian Cancer Registry. Age-specific rates are based on counts that have been randomly rounded to a base of five to protect confidentiality. Selected years of diagnosis correspond to changepoints in trends of age-standardized incidence rates for either females or males (see Table 2). Source: Statistics Canada, Canadian Cancer Registry. |
