Background. Simulation models designed to evaluate cancer prevention strategies make
assumptions on background mortality—the competing risk of death from causes other than …

Objectives Modifiable lifestyle, environmental, and infectious risk factors associated with
cancer impact both cancer incidence and mortality at the population level. Most studies …

Background To make sense of the disease risks they face, people need basic facts about the
magnitude of a particular risk and how one risk compares with other risks. Unfortunately, this …

OBJECTIVES: To promote prevention strategies aimed at reducing the incidence of cancer
or cardiovascular disease (CVD), we present a method to project the probability that a …

Abstract Objectives An estimated 33–37% of incident cancers in Canada are attributable to
modifiable risk factors. Interventions targeting these risk factors would minimize the …

Background Understanding how sex and tobacco exposure may modify lifetime risks for
cancer mortality is important for effective communication of risk in targeted public health …

Importance To make wise decisions about the health risks they face, people need
information about the magnitude of the threats as well as the context, such as how risks …

Introduction Individuals with a history of smoking and a high risk of lung cancer often have a
high prevalence of smoking-related comorbidities. The presence of these comorbidities …

Abstract Using the OncoSim All Cancers Model, we estimated the annual cancer incidence,
mortality and cancer management costs in Canada from 2020 to 2040. Incidence for each …

Background Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality globally. Early detection
through risk-based screening can markedly improve prognosis. However, most risk models …
