Through our common roots with The Sontag Foundation, The Brain Tumor Network has established relationships with a robust network of neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists and other health care providers throughout the United States. This network is comprised of medical professionals who are focused on the treatment of brain tumors; they volunteer their time assisting The Brain Tumor Network in an advisory capacity.

Thank you Impactful Ninja for including us in your 9 Best Charities that Support Brain Tumor/Cancer Patients list. Through collaborative efforts we strive to make a meaningful difference for those affected by this devastating disease. #StrongerTogether
In the US alone, over a million people are living with brain tumors. While approximately 72% of brain tumors are benign and carry a relatively high survival rate, about 28% are cancerous, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 35%. Moreover, only a few treatments have ever been approved for the more than 100 types of brain tumors. While national guidelines advise that clinical trials offer the most effective care, finding and enrolling in one can be daunting for newly diagnosed patients. Fortunately, organizations around the world are helping patients and their families navigate their journey with brain tumors and cancer. So we had to ask: What are the best charities that support brain tumor/ cancer patients? 👇 https://lnkd.in/gbtbHGDW National Brain Tumor Society, American Brain Tumor Association, Brain Tumor Network, The EndBrainCancer Initiative - (The Chris Elliott Fund), St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - ALSAC, Cancer Support Community, American Cancer Society, Cancer Hope Network, The Livestrong Foundation #charitysupport #braintumor #braincancer #braintumorsupport #patientsupport
