Ontario has the largest provincial cancer registry because it serves the biggest population. The Ontario Cancer Registry gathers cancer incidence data for all Ontario residents, pulling from hospitals, pathology reports, and death records, and has developed a long-standing, well-supported system for data collection. That combination of a large population and comprehensive data capture leads to the largest dataset among Canadian provinces. Other provinces do maintain their own registries, such as Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta, but their datasets are smaller due to smaller populations and different data-integration footprints.
