Brain Tumor Awareness Month
In the United States, Brain Tumor Awareness Month is May. Research indicates that about 25,000 people are diagnosed each year with primary central nervous system (CNS) cancer. However, with CNS cancer being rare, there is a lack of access to patient care and advanced treatment options. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) encourages everyone to help those living with rare brain cancers by sharing educational information about brain tumors and raising awareness about clinical studies that help advance care and treatment options to improve cancer health outcomes.
To highlight this initiative via social media platforms, the NCI-CONNECTions Blog uses Twitter to share inspiring messages from the brain tumor community. The "Why We Go Gray in May" initiative helps encourage those living with a brain tumor. Also, it provides doctors, nurses, patient care coordinators, researchers, scientists, and administrators the opportunity to share what inspires them to work in neuro-oncology.
