At-a-glance – Prevalence of childhood cancer in Canada: an analysis using 5-year, 18-year and 25-year limited-duration prevalence from the CYP-C data tool
Understanding the burden of childhood cancer is essential for informing health policy, survivorship care, and resource planning. This study aims to describe the prevalence of childhood cancer in Canada using the Cancer in Young People in Canada data tool. It provides a population-based overview of childhood cancer prevalence by diagnostic group, geographic region, age, sex, and year. By leveraging publicly available surveillance data, this work supports efforts to monitor trends, identify disparities, and guide public health responses to the long-term needs of childhood cancer survivors
Late Mortality Among Survivors of Childhood Cancer in Canada: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Long-term surveillance of childhood cancer survivors is essential to understanding late health outcomes and guiding care strategies. This study provides a national, population-based overview of late mortality among 5-year survivors of childhood cancer in Canada. Using linked Canadian Cancer Registry data, it examines patterns of all-cause and cause-specific mortality, quantifies excess mortality risk compared to the general population, and identifies survivor characteristics associated with late deaths. The findings support ongoing efforts to monitor survivorship and inform public health planning for this vulnerable population.
Second malignant neoplasms within 5 years from first primary diagnosis in pediatric oncology patients in Canada
This study aimed to assess the incidence, characteristics, management, and outcome of children who develop second malignant neoplasms within 5 years of diagnosis of their initial cancer.
Childhood cancer incidence in Canada: demographic and geographic variation of temporal trends (1992–2010)
Surveillance of childhood cancer incidence trends can inform etiologic research, policy and programs. This study presents the first population-based report on demographic and geographic variations in incidence trends of detailed pediatric diagnostic groups in Canada.
