ABOUT BRAIN TUMOUR RESEARCH CAMPAIGN (BTRC)
LATEST ON
Saturday 16th September promises to be an emotion-charged day for many of us as we celebrate Anna Louise Swabey's life on the anniversary of her death. I am sure that many of us will come together on this walk to remember her and enjoy so many happy memories of her life - I for one hope to be there and hope to see many of you there!
STORIES
Read about some people whose lives have been touched by brain tumours – we hope you feel as inspired by them as we do!
Alexandra Dixon
Alexandra Dixon was diagnosed with a low-grade oligodendroglioma brain tumour after suffering a series of severe epileptic seizures while on holiday in the south of France. Back in the UK, she underwent surgery in June 2007. An MRI scan in 2012 revealed the tumour had returned. She had surgery again followed by radio and chemotherapy.
RESEARCH
Our brain tumour research programme is possibly one of the most comprehensive in the world. Its aim is to look at every possibility to improve the outlook for brain tumour patients by producing rapid “translational” research, ie research that translates into treatments as quickly as possible. We have examined every aspect of the patient pathway from diagnosis through treatment to survival and have identified areas that require improvement to achieve this.
RESEARCH SECTIONS:
Collaborations
The best research comes through exchanging ideas and collaborating with other institutions, both nationally and internationally.

Our promise
