About us
The Brain Tumour Research charity exists to raise the awareness of and grow the funding for scientific research into brain tumours and improve outcomes for brain tumour patients. We are the only national charity in the UK dedicated to funding continuous and sustainable scientific research into brain tumours. We are a leading voice in this country calling for greater support and action for research into brain tumours. The Brain Tumour Research charity supports one of the UK’s largest collaborative group of laboratory-based scientists progressing world-class research into brain tumours, working tirelessly to glean new layers of understanding about this disease. Key statistics on brain tumours: • Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer • They kill more children than leukaemia • They kill more men under 45 than prostate cancer • They kill more women under 35 than breast cancer • Just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease • In the UK 16,000 people each year are diagnosed with a brain tumour • Less than 20% of those diagnosed with a brain tumour survive beyond five years compared with an average of 50% across all cancers • Incidences of, and deaths from, brain tumours are increasing. Together we will find a cure. Text CURE to 70660 to donate £5.

💔 Each year, around 12,000 people in the UK face the devastating news of a primary brain tumour diagnosis. For those with high-grade brain tumours, the survival rate beyond five years is less than 13%, a stark contrast to the 54% average across all cancers. Yet, only 1% of national cancer research funding has gone toward brain tumours since 2002. Brain tumours demand our attention and our action.

The launch of a "world-first trial" that could change how we treat brain cancer in the UK, has been announced. Known as the 5G platform trial, it will test multiple new treatments for people living with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma (GBM). It will use a unique and flexible approach to test multiple drugs, with each patient's treatment being based on the specific genetics of their cancer. Dr Juanita Lopez, the Chief Investigator of the trial said: “We have seen progress made in better treating many types of cancer in recent decades, but less so in brain cancers like glioblastoma." This trial uses an adaptive design and whole genome sequencing for every patient. The drug combinations given to patients can be changed as real-time data is collected, allowing researchers to try multiple treatment options across different groups of patients. This approach increases the likelihood of finding a treatment plan that works best for each patient.

It's International Brain Tumour Awareness Week, which calls on raising awareness for brain tumour patients and fundraising for research into this devastating disease. Brain Tumour Research supports the campaign which was started by the The International Brain Tumour Alliance (IBTA). The organisation has been working globally since 2005 to improve conditions for brain tumour patients. As well as helping to establish brain tumour patient groups in countries where they don’t yet exist, IBTA helps shape health and research policy across the world. To get involved, you could post awareness messages, hold community events to raise funds, and share your story with the wider world. You can also make a donation, however big or small, to help fund our vital research and campaigning ➡️ https://lnkd.in/evjb99kV #InternationalBrainTumourAwarenessWeek #BrainTumourAwareness #BrainTumour
