Canadians face rising cancer burden in coming decades
A Canadian Cancer Society report projects that almost half of Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes and about one in four will die from it. For 2017 the study cites 206,200 new cases and 80,800 deaths, with aging and population growth driving increases. Lung cancer deaths still outpace other cancers, while mortality rates decline due to tobacco control and better screening and treatment.
