Cancer facts and prevention measures in Canada
The World Health Organization links 80 percent of cancers to lifestyle and environment and notes many cancers are preventable via diet, exercise, no smoking, and regular check ups. The Canadian Cancer Society reports 53,000 new skin cancer cases last year with 95 percent cure rate, sun exposure risks, and sun protection guidance. In 1993 Canada diagnosed 116,200 cancers with Manitoba at 5,100. lung cancer caused 27 percent of deaths and 85 percent of lung cancers stem from smoking, while prostate surpassed lung in men with 12,900 new cases and 3,800 deaths. Breast cancer remained the leading female cancer with about 20 percent of deaths. Manitoba launched a breast screening program to improve mammography access. Regular breast self exams and biennial mammograms for ages 50-69 are recommended. The Society offers support programs and volunteers for patients and families, including Us Too for prostate cancer. About half of donated funds support research, with $1.48 million awarded in 1993 to Manitoba scientists for prevention, early detection, and treatment research.
