Figure 3.4
Percentage of incident cases for which stage data were available in provincial registries, by province, top 4 cancers and all cancers — 2012 and 2013 diagnosis years
“—” Data not available.
SK: “All cancers” does not include non-melanoma skin cancers diagnosed in SK. Denominator includes incident cases for which stage is recorded as “Not Applicable” since SK does not differentiate between “Not Applicable” and “Not Available” categories.
ON: Stage 0 excluded.
NB: From 2008 onward, only the 4 most common cancers (breast, colorectal, lung and prostate) are staged.
NL: Staging not complete for 2014 so it is not possible to report on “All cancers (2013).”
