This report presents data for the years 2009–11 for the 12 cervical screening program performance indicators for women aged 20 to 69 years, plus descriptive information about the use of HPV testing and immunization. This report also provides more detailed cervical cancer information for 20 to 24 year old women and by histological subtype (squamous cell carcinoma and non–squamous cell carcinomas).
Although the degree of cervical cancer screening program organization varies across the country, eight provinces contributed data for this report: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Each provincial cervical screening program reviewed and approved its data and report and all provinces and territories were kept informed of the process.
The results provide updated information about cervical cancer screening outcomes from across Canada.
