cer will occur in Canada in 2005. The total number of lung cancer cases
(men and women combined) is greater than the number of either prostate
or breast cancer cases.

and women. Overall, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of
death from cancer.

provinces and lower in western Canada. Lung cancer incidence and mor-
tality rates continue to be higher in eastern Canada than in western
provinces.

to cancer.

increasing and aging population. Mortality rates are due to prostate
cancer are dropping.

tics are compiled through a collaboration of information provided by the Canadian
