The Canadian Cancer Statistics Dashboard (CCSD) provides user-friendly and interactive visualizations including up-to-date, projected estimates of cancer incidence and mortality across population groups and geographic regions. The CCSD was developed by the research team led by Dr. Darren Brenner and Dr. Tamer Jarada at the University of Calgary and the Arnie Charbonneau Cancer Institute, with funding from the Canadian Cancer Society. The CCSD leverages the efforts of the Canadian Cancer Statistics Advisory Committee and cancer data of the Provincial and Territorial Cancer Registries through the Canadian Cancer Registry and the Canadian Cancer Statistics publications.
