About

This FemaleShift event addresses gender medicine in oncology, bringing together scientific and political perspectives. PD Dr. Berna Özdemir and Dr. Bettina Balmer (member of the National Council) will discuss how medical research has historically focused on male patient groups, whilst women and men differ significantly in disease progression, symptoms and treatment responses. The event explores why gender differences must be better integrated into medical research and practice.
