Cancer in Alberta

The Alberta Cancer Board is dedicated to a cancer-free future.
 
To that end, we implement and coordinate a strategic program of cancer research, prevention and screening, treatment and care.

Information about how many people have cancer, the most prevalent types of cancer, and how many die from each type is vital to coordinating our efforts on preventing cancers, saving lives and eliminating suffering of cancer patients.
