Primary brain tumour statistics in Canada: Incidence, prevalence and survival rates | Webinar Series

Primary brain tumours are heterogeneous, with different treatment pathways and prognoses depending on their classification. Due to their location, all brain tumours, regardless of their malignancy, can be debilitating. In this webinar, we 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. These rates are based on analysis of the vital status linked to Candian Cancer Registry data.

Presented by: Dr. Yan Yuan

Dr. 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.
