ABOUT BRAIN TUMOUR RESEARCH CAMPAIGN (BTRC)
LATEST ON
We are proud to share the fruits of all the hard work that our supporters' donations have funded over the years - the results of several years' work by our research team at the John Fulcher Neuro-oncology Laboratory at Imperial College London are finally evidenced by the publication of a series of papers over the past 12 months. As part of Brain Tumour Research's Centre of Excellence, we are confident that this is only the start of more successful research which will help us to get closer to #findingacure. Thank you to everyone who has helped us to reach this point, and please keep up your support!
STORIES
Read about some people whose lives have been touched by brain tumours – we hope you feel as inspired by them as we do!
Sunita Nathwani
Mum-of-three Sunita was diagnosed with a type 2 meningioma brain tumour after an eye test at Specsavers. She underwent surgery and treatment but lost her battle less than two years later. Her husband Upin has been left with a void in his life and is comforted by the pride he feels in their talented and beautiful children.
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.
