Childhood Brain Tumor Foundation
*Fighting Childhood Brain Tumors!*
Brain tumors are the deadliest form of childhood cancer. Over 3,400 children are diagnosed in the U.S. each year. Although 65% of these children survive, harsh treatment often leaves them with serious long-term side effects that vastly affect their quality of life. And for some types of children’s brain tumors, survival rates are still below 20%. More research is critically needed to develop safer, targeted, more effective treatments. Please make a gift to CBTF and help fight childhood brain tumors!
