The Facts Brain cancer is an aggressive disease that doesn t receive the attention it deserves, which leads to a dangerous lack in awareness and funding. Brain cancer is: >the leading cause of solid tumor cancer deaths among children and young adults. >extremely heterogenous, with 120 different types of tumors, all of which have unknown causes. >NOT as rare as you might think.
