*

Breakdown by sex for all sites and the top 4 incident cancer sites (lung, female breast, prostate, colorectal).

According to Statistics Canada protocols, the counts in this table, including totals, are randomly rounded either up or down to a multiple of 5. When data are summed or grouped, the total value may not match the individual values because totals and subtotals are rounded independently.
