Facts about Brain Tumours....
Each year over 10,000 people in Canada and 185,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with a primary or metastatic brain tumour.
1 Brain tumours are the leading cause of cancer death in children under the age of 20, now surpassing acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and are the third leading cause of cancer death in young adults ages 20-39.
2 Metastatic brain tumours (cancer that spreads from other parts of the body to the brain) occur at some point in 20-40f people with cancer and are the most common type of brain tumour. The incidence of metastatic brain tumours is increasing as cancer patients live longer.
3 There are over 120 different types of brain tumours, making effective treatment very complicated.
Because brain tumours are located at the control centre for thought, emotion, and movement, their effects on an individuals physical and cognitive abilities can be devastating.
Brain tumours in children are different from those in adults and are often treated differently. Although as many as 60f children with brain tumours will survive, they are often left with long-term side effects.
Enhancing the quality of life for people with brain tumours requires access to quality specialty care, clinical trials, follow-up care and rehabilitative services. Improving the outlook for brain tumour patients requires research into the causes of and better treatments of brain tumors.
