Cancer rates

Almost one in every two Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, according to the Canadian Cancer Society in its latest report.

It estimates more than 206,000 Canadians will be diagnosed with some form of cancer this year and 81,000 will die. Prostate, breast, lung and colorectal cancers continue to top the list of the most common malignancies…but lung cancer is still responsible for the most deaths.
