We sought to summarize the expected impact of cancer in Canada in 2024, with projections of new cancer cases and deaths from cancer by sex and province or territory for all ages combined.  \nMethods: We obtained data on new cancer cases (i. e . , incidence, 1984– 2019) and deaths from cancer (i.e., mortality, 1984–2020) from the Canadian Cancer Registry and Canadian Vital Statistics Death Database, respectively. We projected cancer incidence and mortality counts and rates to 2024 for 23 types of cancer, overall, by sex, and by prov-  \nince or territory. We calculated agestandardized rates using data from the 2011 Canadian standard population.  \nResults: In 2024, the number of new cancer cases and deaths from cancer are expected to reach 247 100 and 88 100, respectively. The agestandardized incidence rate (ASIR) and mortality rate (ASMR) are projected to decrease slightly from previous years for both males and females, with higher rates among males (ASIR 562.2 per 100 000 and AS MR 209.6 per 100 000 among males; ASIR 495.9 per 100 000 and ASMR 152.8 per 100 000 among females) . The ASIRs and ASMRs of several common cancers are projected to continue to decrease (i. e. ,  \nlung, colorectal, and prostate cancer), while those of several others are projected to increase (i.e., liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer, kidney cancer, melanoma, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma) .  \nInterpretation: Although the overall incidence of cancer and associated mortality are declining, new cases and deaths in Canada are expected to increase in 2024, largely because of the growing and aging population. Efforts in prevention, screening, and treatment have reduced the impact of some cancers, but these short-term projections highlight the potential effect of cancer on people and health care systems in Canada.  \nCancer has a substantial impact on the lives of people living in Canada and on Canadian health care systems. 1,2 Previous estimates suggest that 45% of all people in Canada will receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime.3,4 As the population grows and ages, new cancer cases and deaths from cancer in Canada are also increasing.5,6 In addition, cancer has a major economic impact. The most recent estimates indicated that the economic burden of cancer in Canada was $26.2 billion in 2021, with 30% of costs being carried by patients and their families.7  \nBecause of the time required for collecting and verifying data, cancer data necessarily lag several years. Short-term projections are estimated by extrapolating past trends into the future using statistical models. These projections of incidence and mortality provide a timely picture of the impact of cancer in Canada that is necessary for resource planning, research, and informing cancer control programs. Given the overall impact of cancer on the lives and economic livelihood of people in Canada, such estimates are  \nessential to highlight where progress has been made in cancer control and where more resources and effort are required.  \nThe Canadian Cancer Statistics 2023 included detailed estimates of cancer metrics, including incidence, mortality, survival by sex assigned at birth, age, and province or territory, as well as time trends, for ","cbCaifCdHf8oGbHh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifCdHf8oGbHh","pdf",208907,"English","# Abstract\n## Background\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Interpretation\n# Methods\n## Study design\n## Sources of data\n## Statistical analysis","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study’s projections for 2024?\",\"answer\":\"To summarize the expected impact of cancer in Canada in 2024 by projecting new cancer cases and deaths by sex and by province or territory for all ages combined.\"},{\"question\":\"Which data sources are used to build the incidence and mortality projections?\",\"answer\":\"New cancer cases come from the Canadian Cancer Registry and cancer deaths come from the Canadian Vital Statistics Death Database.
