SUMMARY:Primary brain tumours statistics in Canada: Incidence\, prevalence and survival rates
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we will share key findings from the most recent data including incidence rates\, prevalence rates\, and survival rates of 25 brain tumour groups\, classified based on location and histology. \nIn this webinar\, you will learn to:  \n\nUnderstand the role of cancer registry in the surveillance of primary brain tumours. \nUnderstand the heterogeneity in brain tumour patient incidence\, prevalence\, and survival experiences.  \nBe aware of the data tool that can be used to obtain various brain tumour-related statistics.\n\nSpeaker bio:\nDr. Yuan obtained a PhD degree in Statistics from the University of Waterloo in 2008 and joined the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta in 2011. Her research program focused on developing and applying biostatistical methods in cancer related to population health and biomedical research. Dr. Yuan’s ongoing applied health research focuses primarily on two areas: one is risk prediction of late effects in childhood cancer survivors and the related methodology aspect; and the other is brain tumour surveillance and developing artificial intelligence tools for improving cancer surveillance.  \nRegister

SUMMARY:Creating a user centric neuro-oncology program through the empowerment of patients and providers
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation we will discuss how academic and entrepreneurial approaches were combined to create a user-centric\, rapidly adaptive brain tumour program.  \nIn this webinar\, you will learn to:  \n\nReview barriers to care for Canadians diagnosed with brain tumours. \nIntroduce the design thinking paradigm for product development. \nShare practical interventions that empower patients and reduce administrative burden for healthcare workers.\n\nSpeaker bio:\nDr. Teresa Purzner earned her MD in 2009 and completed four years of neurosurgical residency in Toronto before pursuing a PhD in developmental neurobiology at Stanford University. There\, she combined mass spectrometry with developmental biology to identify novel therapeutic targets for pediatric brain tumours\, leading to the discovery of a new drug target in medulloblastoma. In collaboration with Stanford SPARK and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium\, she helped translate this discovery into a first-in-child clinical trial of a CK2 inhibitor. Her work has been recognized with numerous awards\, including the Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate and BioX Fellowship\, the Annual Award of the American Academy of Neurological Surgery\, the Weston Havens Foundation Award\, the AANS Louise Eisenhardt Award\, and the Neurosurgery Research and Education Fellowship. In 2021\, she was named one of Canada’s Top 40 Under 40. Dr. Purzner is also the founder of Cerebelly\, a science-based baby food company focused on early brain development\, now available in over 15\,000 stores across North America. Dr. Purzner now runs a neurosurgical practice and translational research lab at Queen’s University with her husband\, Dr. James Purzner. Together\, they focus on advancing care and scientific understanding for patients with brain tumours through integrated clinical and research innovation.  \nRegister

SUMMARY:Navigating cognitive symptoms in individuals with brain tumours
DESCRIPTION:Cognitive symptoms are common among individuals living with brain tumours and can significantly affect daily life and well-being. This webinar will explore cognitive symptoms that may occur\, such as difficulties with memory\, attention\, and communication. Underlying causes of these symptoms will be reviewed\, including the impact of the tumour on the brain and effects of treatment such as surgery\, radiation\, and chemotherapy. Evidence-based strategies and practical tools will be presented to help individuals manage cognitive challenges and support quality of life.  \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nIdentify cognitive symptoms that may be experienced by individuals with brain tumours and their impact on daily functioning. \nExplain the underlying causes of cognitive symptoms. \nDiscuss evidence-based strategies and interventions to support the management of cognitive symptoms.  \n\nSpeaker bio:\nDr. Angela Sekely is a neuropsychologist at the Pencer Brain Tumor Center and Pediatric Aftercare Program at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. Her clinical practice encompasses neuropsychological assessment for adults with primary brain tumours and adult survivors of pediatric cancers. Angela is involved in the clinical supervision of graduate students and research.
