Annotation:

This Progress Report summarizes cancer issues and cancer-related policies, programs and strategies across the country to help determine how well Canada is doing in its fight against cancer. The Progress Report on Cancer Control in Canada is divided into six chapters: an overview of Cancer Control in Canada; Prevention; Screening; Treatment; Palliative Care; and Conclusions and Future Directions. The report is based on the most recent data available from Health Canada's Population and Public Health Branch, Statistics Canada and other federal and provincial agencies, non-government organizations and cancer researchers.
