ONTARIO CANCER STATISTICS
An estimated 153,100 new cases of cancer and 70,400 deaths from can-
cer will occur in Canada in 2006. The total number of lung cancer cases
(men and women combined) is greater than the number of either prostate
or breast cancer cases.
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death for both men
and women. Overall, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of
death from cancer.
Generally, both incidence and mortality rates are higher in Atlantic
Canada and Quebec and lowest in British Columbia. Lung cancer inci-
dence and mortality rates continue to be higher in Atlantic Canada
and Quebec and lowest in British Columbia.
Smoking is responsible for 28% of potential years of life lost (PYLL) due
to cancer.
The increased number of new cases of cancer is primarily due to an
increasing and aging population. Mortality rates are due to prostate
cancer are dropping.
43% of new cancer cases and 60% of deaths due to cancer occur among
those who are at least 70 years old.
Cancer incidence and mortality rates are higher in females than males
during the reproductive years although males have higher rates at all
other stages of life.
The above findings are drawn from the 2006 Canadian Cancer Statistics. These statis-
tics are compiled through a collaboration of information provided by the Canadian
Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute of Canada, -Statistics Canada, Health
Canada. provincial territorial cancer registries and university -based researchers.
