World Brain Tumour Day
June 8 · Level 7 · #695 of 2238
World Brain Tumour Day brings attention to people living with brain tumours and the families supporting them. It encourages greater understanding and support for research, care and the emotional challenges that can accompany a diagnosis.
How it is celebrated: patient organisations hold information events, share personal experiences and raise funds for support services and research. Medical professionals contribute to public discussions and answer questions about the condition.
“Brain tumour” is an umbrella term for many different diseases. Two people using those same words may have very different experiences, which helps explain why care often involves several specialist teams.
