Conference Charity –
The Brain Tumour Charity
The Brain Tumour Charity is the world’s leading brain
tumour charity and the largest dedicated funder of
research into brain tumours globally.
Committed to saving and improving lives, we’re moving further,
faster to help every single person affected by a brain tumour. We’re
set on finding new treatments, offering the highest level of support
and driving urgent change. And we’re doing it right now. Because we
understand that when you, or someone you love, is diagnosed with a
brain tumour – a cure really can’t wait.
Our vision is for people diagnosed with a brain tumour to live longer
and better lives. We’ll achieve this by accelerating cures for all brain
tumours, driving the best lifelong care and raising our global voices.
For people with fast-growing tumours, our aim is to halve the average
years of life lost to a brain tumour from 27.3 years (2015) to 13.6 years
by 2030. We’ll use one-year survival rates as an early indicator of our
progress. For people with slow growing tumours, we aim to determine
a benchmark and baseline it, then double survival by 2030.
Ultimately, as a research-led charity, we aim to find cures for all brain
tumours so that no one’s life expectancy is dictated by their tumour.
Our goal is to halve the harm that brain tumours have on quality of life
by 2030.
For people with both fast and slow-growing tumours, their families
and carers, we aim to select and baseline a quality of life measure with
user groups and clinicians in 2023.
