Biography
Faith Davis is interested in understanding factors that influence the occurrence and survival of cancer. Her work focuses on rare cancers (including brain tumors and ovarian cancers) and environmental exposures, including ionizing radiation. This includes characterizing radiogenic cancer risks associated with low dose and low dose rate environmental exposures. Davis's work with brain tumours is currently creating an infrastructure to support brain tumour surveillance and research in Canada. Her work with ovarian cancers includes understanding why, given that survival rates for ovarian cancer have improved with new therapies, survival differences by demographic groups persist within stages of disease.
