Data Reports
Reports of Childhood Cancer Statistics
POGO data reports are important for data-driven planning and quality improvement of the childhood cancer care system, one of the five strategic goals of POGO’s Childhood Cancer Care Plan: A Roadmap for Ontario 2024-2029.
POGO monitors and publicly reports childhood cancer statistics in Ontario, including cancer incidence (new cases), mortality (deaths) and survival over time and by population. We do this work using data collected in our childhood cancer database POGONIS, and by contributing data, knowledge and analytical insights through reports developed in partnership with other organizations, to ensure the right data are available and being used to drive an effective childhood cancer care system.
In addition, POGO provides statistics to hospital partners related to their case-mix, patient outcomes, health service utilization and workload to ensure high-quality care for children with cancer in Ontario.
In partnership with Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario), POGO provides data on childhood cancer for the Ontario Cancer Statistics report series on the burden of cancer in Ontario.
