Cancer News
The Canadian Cancer Society has released a new report which shows survival rates for blood cancer has climbed in the past 20 years. Other key highlights include: 

*	Lung cancer incidence and death rates have recently started to decrease in females, a reflection of the tremendous amount of work that has been invested in tobacco smoking prevention, cessation programs, education and advocacy
*	Female breast cancer death rates have decreased by an estimated 48% since they peaked in 1986 thanks to improvements in early detection and treatment
*	Pancreatic cancer – one of the most difficult cancers to treat – is expected to become the 3rd leading cause of cancer death in Canada in 2019, surpassing breast cancer and reflecting the need for further research in this field to improve early detection and treatment options.
