Brain Cancer Awareness Month

Go Grey this May for childhood brain cancer awareness.

Brain cancer kills more children in Australia than any other disease

Seventy per cent of Australians are unaware that more kids die from cancer than any other disease in this country. With awareness, comes support. Government funding only stretches so far so it is vital the community step up to help fund the scientific research so urgently needed. 

The Facts

  • Brain tumours are the most common form of solid tumours among children.
  • Brain cancer kills more children in Australia than any other disease.
  • As with other tumours in kids and adults, surgery is the primary treatment, usually followed by radiation treatment and/or chemotherapy.
  • Because a child's brain is still developing, these treatments can result in more substantial and permanent side effects than they would for an adult.
