New cancer cases by province and territory New primary cancer cases (all sites) and incidence rates per 100,000 population for all cancers and for lung, colorectal, female breast and prostate cancer, both sexes and all ages, from the Canadian Cancer Registry. Nova Scotia did not report for the latest year, so it is blank and no Canada total is published. Territory rates rest on small counts.
