What is the ComPARe study? 

The ComPARe study is the most comprehensive and up-to-date study on the preventable burden of cancer in Canada. Through the ComPARe study, we know that about 4 in 10 of all cancers in Canada can be prevented through healthy living and policies that protect the health of Canadians. The ComPARe study estimates the number and percentage of cancer cases in Canada due to modifiable lifestyle, environmental and infectious agent risk factors. The study also estimates how changes to these risk factors through prevention could affect the number of cancer cases in the future.
