Colorectal, cervical and breast cancer screening tests, 2024 / by Matthew Olsheskie and Shawn Brûlé.: CS82-625/2025001-2E-PDF
"Cancer remains the leading cause of death in Canada. In 2023, just over one quarter (26%) of deaths among residents of Canada were due to cancer. Approximately two in five Canadians are expected to develop cancer during their lifetime. As a result, cancer screening is important for early detection of disease, which can result in improved treatment outcomes. This fact sheet provides an overview of proportions of Canadians who have undergone tests commonly used for early detection of colorectal, cervical and breast cancer among people living in the ten provinces. It also examines differences by various groups, such as by sex, age, province, area type, racialized group, immigrant status, Indigenous group and disability status"--Background, page 3.
