Nova Scotia has the highest cancer incidence rate of any province in Canada, followed by Newfoundland and Labrador, and Ontario. However, Nunavut has the highest cancer mortality rate of the provinces. In Nunavut there are around 310 deaths from cancer per 100,000 population, compared to a rate of 218 deaths per 100,000 in Newfoundland and Labrador.

New cancer cases

As of 2023, there were around 513 new cancer cases in Canada per 100,000 population. The most common types of cancer in Canada include lung and bronchus cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women, while prostate cancer is the second most common type among men. Men have slightly higher rates of lung and bronchus cancer and colorectal cancer.

Cancer mortality

Lung and bronchus cancers have the highest mortality rate of any cancer in Canada, followed by colorectal and pancreas cancer. Men in Canada have around a five percent chance of dying as a result of lung and bronchus cancer. The lifetime probability of dying from any cancer type for males in Canada is around 24 percent.

During 2023, it was estimated that there would be a total of ***** deaths due to kidney cancer in Canada. Cancer is one of the leading causes of premature death in Canada. This statistic shows the estimated total number of deaths due to cancer in Canada. by cancer type, in 2023.

Background: Over 90% of skin cancers including cutaneous melanoma (CM) are related directly to sun exposure. Despite extensive knowledge on ultraviolet radiation’s (UVR) detrimental impact, many still fail to implement sun protection/sun avoidance. Human behavior, attitudes, and cultural norms of individuals and communities heavily depend on the surrounding climate/environment. In many instances, the climate shapes the culture/norms of the society. Canada has vast geographic/environmental differences. Methods: In the current ecological study, we sought to examine the relationship between various geographic and environmental factors and the distribution of CM incidence by Forward Sortation Area (FSA) postal code across Canada. CM incidence data were extracted from the Canadian Cancer Registry, while environmental data were extracted from the Canadian Urban Environmental Health Research Consortium (greenspace, as measured by the normalized difference vegetation index; annual highest temperature; absolute number and average length of yearly heat events; annual total precipitation [rain and snow]; absolute number and average length of events with precipitation [rain and snow]; and summer UVR index). The above geographic/environmental data by FSA were correlated with the respective CM incidence employing negative binomial regression model. Results: Our analysis highlights that increases in annual average temperature, summer UVR, and greenspace were associated with higher expected incidence of CM cases, while higher number of annual heat events together with highest annual temperature and higher average number of annual rain events were associated with a decrease in CM incidence rate. This study also highlights regional variation in environmental CM risk factors in Canada. Conclusions: This national population-based study presents clinically relevant conclusions on weather/geographic variations associated with CM incidence in Canada and will help refine targeted CM prevention campaigns by understanding unique weather/geographic variations in high-risk regions.
