Understanding cancer in Bermuda starts with data.
For over 70 years, BCHC has tracked cancer incidence, mortality, and outcomes in Bermuda, not just to count cases, but to drive action. These reports inform our prevention programmes, guide our screening initiatives, and help us measure progress toward a Bermuda where cancer is prevented, detected early, and treated with excellence.
Data becomes impact when it drives better care for everyone.
Every statistic represents a person. Every trend tells us where we need to focus. Every outcome measures whether we're succeeding in our mission to reduce the impact of cancer in Bermuda.
These reports help us:
This isn't just data collection, it's how we ensure we're making a difference.
Bermuda's roadmap for comprehensive cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and survivorship support—coordinated across the healthcare system.
What's inside:
Bermuda's comprehensive strategy for cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and support. This plan guides our work and coordinates efforts across the healthcare system.
What's inside:
How many Bermudians are diagnosed with cancer each year, which types are most common, and how rates are changing over time.
Key insights:
Which cancers cause the most deaths in Bermuda and how mortality rates compare to international benchmarks.
Key insights:
The most common cancer in Bermudian women. This report examines incidence, screening rates, stage at diagnosis, and outcomes.
Why it matters: Understanding breast cancer patterns helps us improve screening access and early detection, which saves lives.
The most common cancer in Bermudian men. Data on incidence, screening practices, and mortality trends.
Why it matters: Prostate cancer affects many Bermudian men, knowing the patterns helps us provide better education and care.
One of the deadliest cancers, largely preventable through tobacco control. This report tracks incidence, mortality, and tobacco use trends.
Why it matters: Lung cancer prevention through smoking cessation could save more Bermudian lives than any other intervention.
A cancer that's highly preventable and treatable when caught early through screening. Data on incidence, screening rates, and outcomes.
Why it matters: Colonoscopy can actually prevent colorectal cancer, yet screening rates remain low. Understanding why helps us increase access.
A comprehensive look at BCHC's Radiation Therapy Unit from 2017-2022: patients treated, cancers addressed, outcomes achieved, and the impact of bringing world-class radiation oncology to Bermuda.
Why it matters: Before 2017, Bermudians needing radiation therapy had to travel overseas—away from family, at great expense. This report shows what accessible, excellent care looks like.
The groundbreaking first year of radiation therapy in Bermuda—who we treated, what we learned, and what it meant for patients to receive care at home.
Why it matters: This milestone changed cancer care in Bermuda forever.
