Spend more money on brain tumour research
The facts:
More children and adults under 40 die of a brain tumour than from any other cancer
73% of brain tumour deaths occur in those under 75 compared to 47% for all other cancers
Brain tumours receive less than 1% of the national spend on cancer research
Only 18.8% of those diagnosed with a brain tumour survive beyond five years, compared with a 50% average for all cancers
Brain tumours kill more children than leukaemia or any other cancer
This petition calls on the Government to take action to:
Significantly increase the investment into brain tumour research.
