Brain tumours - the facts
Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40.
Over 9,100 people are diagnosed with a primary brain tumour each year. As many brain tumours are not recorded, the figure could be much higher in reality. That's 25 people every single day.
Over 500 of these are children and young people. 25% of these will die - one child every three days.
Almost 5,000 people lose their lives to a brain tumour every year.
Cancers that begin in another part of the body which go on to result in a tumour in the brain (secondary brain tumours) are estimated to outnumber primary brain tumours by a factor of 3 to 1. That's over 27,000 people.
Brain tumours reduce life expectancy by, on average, 20 years - the highest of any cancer.
Just 14% of adults survive for five years after diagnosis. Brain tumours are the largest cause of preventable or treatable blindness in children.
Childhood brain tumour survivors are 10 times more likely to suffer long term disability than well children. This accounts for 20,000 additional disabled life years for all the children who are diagnosed each year.
Research offers the only real hope of dramatic improvements in the diagnosis, treatment and management of brain tumours. Over £500 million is spent on cancer research in the UK every year, yet less than 2% is spent on brain tumours.
