Cancer incidence in Canada, 2018
Over 156,000 new cases of cancer were diagnosed in 2018, according to the Canadian Cancer Registry, a national database that has been collecting data on new cancer diagnoses since 1992. This represents 546 new cancer diagnoses per 100,000 people. In keeping with the previous years, the five most commonly diagnosed cancers remained breast (13.0%), lung and bronchus (12.4%), prostate (12.0%), colorectal (10.5%) and urinary bladder (4.9%). Together, these five cancer types accounted for over half of the cancer diagnoses in 2018. Cancer incidence is strongly influenced by broad factors such as screening, prevention and population aging. Consequently, incidence trends tend to evolve slowly and a long period of observation is usually required to detect changes over time. However, the potential impact of the temporary shutdown of screening services in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic will need to be assessed as more recent data become available.
