Cervix cancer has some of the potentially largest impacts on that. Most women who are diagnosed with a cervix cancer are usually between the ages of 45 to 55. These women are in the prime of their lives. They're also launching their children, highlighting their careers and trying to take care of older family members, and then they are struck down by what can be quite a devastating cancer.
Cervix cancer can be really quite traumatic. Genetic-related cancers are typically also in young women and women in their mid-forties to early fifties, and this is for both ovarian and endometrial cancers. However, as our woman population is living longer and longer, we have to acknowledge that the average woman in Canada can live well into her late eighties, and it will soon probably be into her nineties. They're living well and living healthily into their seventies and eighties.
When you ask about lives lost, these are healthy women with no other medical issues who are then struck down by an ovarian cancer. Before, when their lifespan was maybe into their late seventies and early eighties and they were getting their cancers at that time, all right, but now we're talking about women who had the potential to live for another 10, 15 or even 20 years.
