Answer:

http://www.cancer.ca/vgn/images/portal/c…

here’s what I gathered from it:

An estimated 166,400 new cases of cancer and 73,800 deaths from cancer will

occur in Canada in 2008

On average, 3,200 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer every week.

On average, 1,419 Canadians will die of cancer each week.

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women.

1.0% of the female population are survivors of breast cancer, and 0.8% of the male

population are survivors of prostate cancer, diagnosed within the previous 15 years.

Five-year Relative Cancer Survival

Relative survival ratios were highest for thyroid, testicular, prostate cancer, and

melanoma.

Relative survival ratios were lowest for pancreatic, esophageal, lung, and liver

cancer.

Relative survival for lung cancer tends to decline with increasing age.
