"This article presents national data (excluding Quebec) on cancer incidence by stage at diagnosis for lung, colorectal, female breast and prostate cancers. Data from the Canadian Cancer Registry are combined for the diagnosis years 2011 to 2015. Half of all new lung cancers were diagnosed at stage IV, and of the two types of lung cancer, small cell was more often diagnosed at this stage than non-small cell. About half of colorectal cancers were diagnosed at stages III and IV, and stage-specific incidence rates were generally higher for males than females. More than 80% of female breast and almost three-quarters of prostate cancers were diagnosed at stages I and II. Later-stage diagnosis was more common in older age groups for both cancers"--Abstract, page 21.
