About the National Brain Tumor Society
The National Brain Tumor Society is the largest nonprofit dedicated to the brain tumor community in the United States. It is "fiercely committed to finding better treatments, and ultimately a cure, for people living with a brain tumor today and those who will be diagnosed tomorrow."Brain Tumor Facts
- Nearly 700,000 people in the United States are living with a primary brain tumor.
- In 2015, an estimated 69,000 new primary brain tumor diagnoses will be made in the U.S.
- About 120 types of brain and CNS tumors have been identified to date and some have multiple subtypes. Each tumor type/subtype is genetically distinct, making the search for treatments or a cure extremely difficult.
