Cancer incidence by stage in Canada, 2017
Thousands of Canadians receive a cancer diagnosis every year in Canada. Cancer staging, the extent of the disease in the body, is a recognized way of describing and classifying a cancer based on its progression. In 2017, some cancers such as cervical, breast and prostate cancer tended to be diagnosed at an early stage, whereas others such as lung and bronchus cancer were more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage. Generally, a cancer that is diagnosed at an earlier stage is easier to treat, and patients have a higher chance of survival than those diagnosed when a cancer has progressed further.
