SUMMARY:Glioblastoma: Exploring the biological underpinnings of why this cancer remains so hard to treat
DESCRIPTION:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and deadly primary brain tumour. Despite very involved and expensive treatment consisting of surgical resection\, radiotherapy and chemotherapy\, as well as decades of research furthering our understanding of GBM biology\, prognoses remain poor. In this talk\, we’ll cover numerous aspects of GBM biology that contribute to its stubborn treatment resistance\, including: how GBM survives the current standard of care; how cells die and what is altered in GBM relative to healthy cells in the brain; the cellular heterogeneity within a tumor and between patients; and the impact of the brain location on GBM biology\, treatment resistance and anti-tumour immunity. In this webinar\, you will learn to: Understand the major ways that cells die\, and how changes to these pathways affect GBM treatment efficacy Be aware of the cellular diversity within a single GBM tumour and between patients that contributes to treatment failure Understand how the brain location contributes to GBM treatment resistance. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the major ways that cells die\, and how changes to these pathways affect GBM treatment efficacy \nBe aware of the cellular diversity within a single GBM tumour and between patients that contributes to treatment failure \nUnderstand how the brain location contributes to GBM treatment resistance \n\nSpeaker bio:\nDr. Kyle Malone completed his Master’s in Neuroscience and his PhD in Microbiology and Immunology\, studying how cell death and the immune system shape new treatment possibilities for Glioblastoma. As a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Ottawa and CHEO Research Institute\, he investigates ways to make GBM more vulnerable to treatment and to strengthen immune-based therapies. His work includes testing small-molecule drugs and engineered natural killer cells to improve the immune system’s targeting of GBM. \n  \nRegister

SUMMARY:The Landscape of Grief
DESCRIPTION:This heartfelt session explores the often-unspoken grief experienced by caregivers as they accompany a loved one through illness\, decline\, and death. From anticipatory grief to the quiet sorrow that lingers beyond loss\, caregivers carry a unique emotional burden that can be deeply isolating. Together\, we’ll create space to acknowledge and honour the evolving roles\, shifting identities\, and layered emotions that caregivers navigate. We will also reflect on how grief differs depending on the nature of the relationship\, whether with a parent\, spouse\, child\, or friend\, and how communities can better support those walking these paths. Through compassionate dialogue and shared insight\, this session invites connection\, validation\, and healing.  \nIn this webinar\, you will learn to:  \n\nRecognize and define anticipatory and cumulative grief as experienced by caregivers\, including how these forms of grief can manifest emotionally\, physically\, and relationally over time.  \nDifferentiate between the emotional landscapes of various types of loss (e.g.\, parent\, spouse\, child\, friend) and understand how each shapes the caregiver’s grief journey before and after death. \nIdentify supportive strategies and community practices that validate and hold space for caregiver grief\, while promoting resilience\, connection\, and healing throughout the caregiving and bereavement process.\n\nSpeaker bio:\nRenee Moor is a Buddhist psychotherapist\, certified death doula\, yoga and meditation teacher\, and Usui Reiki master. Her work is rooted in the belief that every individual deserves emotional\, spiritual\, and practical support at the end of life. Following the profound personal losses of both her father and husband within a 16-month span\, Renee was deeply moved by the gaps in care and companionship available during these transitions. In response\, she founded Journey Home for Empowered Living and Dying\, a registered charity based in Dundas\, Ontario. The organization provides compassionate\, community-based services including death doula support\, grief counselling\, public workshops\, and educational programming. Through advocacy and care\, Journey Home is committed to helping individuals and families navigate death and dying with dignity\, presence\, and peace\, creating space for meaningful and empowered end-of-life experiences.  \nRegister

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
