Being released August 20…The POWER Study Cancer chapter, the fourth in its two-volume Women's Health Report. POWER’s comprehensive provincial Report is designed to serve as an evidence-based tool to help policy makers, health care providers and consumers improve the health of, and reduce inequities among Ontario women. The Cancer chapter reports on leading causes of cancer in women, including cancers of the breast, reproductive system, lung and colorectal cancer. We report on cancer incidence, survival rates and end-of-life care; and include indicators that capture the continuum of cancer care (prevention, screening, treatment and follow-up, and end-of-life care). We examine performance on these indicators for women and men and assess differences by income, age and geography. Also available are Chapter 1, Introduction to the POWER Study; Chapter 2, the POWER Study Framework.; and Chapter 3, the Burden of Illness.
