Canadian Facts about Brain Tumors
- Approximately 10,000 Canadians are diagnosed with a brain tumor each
year.
- Treatment is complicated given that there are more than 120 types and
the location in the brain varies greatly from patient to patient.
- Primary brain tumors can attack anyone; though tumors in children are
usually treated differently than those in adults. Brain tumors are
the leading cause of solid cancer death in children under the age of
20.
- 20 - 40% of patients living with cancer will also develop a
metastatic brain tumor.
