Cancer cases and deaths are expected to increase in 2024, according to a recent study from the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

“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,” said the May 13 study “Projected Estimates of Cancer in Canada in 2024.”
