Leukemia statistics

To provide the most current cancer statistics, statistical methods are used to estimate the number of new cancer cases and deaths until actual data become available.

Incidence is the total number of new cases of cancer. Mortality is the number of deaths due to cancer.

It is estimated that in 2023:

• 6,400 Canadians will be diagnosed with leukemia.
• 3,100 Canadians will die from leukemia.
• 3,900 men will be diagnosed with leukemia and 1,800 will die from it.
• 2,500 women will be diagnosed with leukemia and 1,300 will die from it.
