If you’re interested in male and female sex differences in tumor incidence and clinical outcomes, make sure you register for the upcoming event featuring NCI CBIIT’s Acting Director, Dr. Jill Barnholtz-Sloan.

She will be discussing the work of her team’s research, including:

  • global cancer statistics by sex.
  • sex differences in cancer as it relates to incidence, survival, and immune response.
  • sex differences in brain tumors as it relates to incidence and survival, malignant gliomas, and mortality trends.
  • sex differences in treatment response as it relates to adverse events.
  • sex differences in brain metastasis as it relates to adverse events and brain metastasis after advanced melanoma.

You’ll also learn about NCI data sharing through the Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) and what data is available to you within the CRDC.

Horizons in Neuro-oncology is a monthly series of talks and events to encourage collaboration and to increase the impact of research in neuro-oncology.

Jill Barnholtz-Sloan, Ph.D.

Dr. Barnholtz-Sloan is the acting director of NCI CBIIT, as well as the associate director of the Informatics and Data Science Program, and an intramural senior investigator in the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics Trans-Divisional Research Program.
