Quick Facts

  with prostate cancer every week.
• On average, 407 Canadian women will be diagnosed
  with breast cancer every week.
• DID you know? An estimated 145 MEN will be
  diagnosed with breast cancer, and 45 of those men
  with breast cancer will die each year.

Introduction

• Large amount of statistic are available provided
  by cancer associations.
• Personal interest to research about

4
Thesis

• Breast cancer causes higher mortality rate and is
  more commonly diagnose in women in comparison to
  prostate cancer in men.
• Gender specific cancer in men and women is more
  prevalent in comparison to non-gender specific
  cancer.

Plan and Methodology

• Data were collected from the Canadian Cancer
  Society (CCS) and the American cancer
  society(ACS).
• Raw data collect was narrowed down
• There were too many data value (3000)
• ACS provide estimated new case and death
• Values were also unclear
• Statistics used in the analysis were from
  Canadian Cancer Society. Therefore, it could be
  bias compare to other countries.

• Gender
• Mortality Rate
• Incidence Rate

Conclusion

• Females
• Gender specific cancer have higher incidence
  rate.
• Non-gender specific cancer have higher mortality
  rate.(e.g.Lung cancer)
• Males
• Gender specific cancer also have higher incidence
  rate.
• Non-gender specific cancer have higher mortality
  rate.

Further Studies

• Compare different age groups.
• 67 of all cancer is diagnosed in people 55
• Racial and ethnic groups.
• Include different gender cancer sites.
• Avoid bias by look at different countries.
