The numbers are
startling. Over the next year, more than 200,000 people will be diagnosed with
a brain tumor, and the toll is high. Brain tumors are the leading cause of
solid tumor cancer deaths in children and the second leading cause of cancer
deaths in people during their twenties. One of the most difficult things about
brain tumors is that they can dramatically affect the lifestyle of people
saddled with them. That’s because tumors can press upon parts of the brain that
control everything from our emotions to our ability to walk and talk. Unfortunately,
the cure rate for brain tumors is lower than other types.
