Brain cancer kills more Australians under 40 than any other cancer and kills more children than any other disease.
Lack of research
Brain cancer survival rates have only increased by 1% in the last 30 years.
Lack of funding
Brain cancer receives less than 5% of Federal Government cancer research funding.
