About us
Founded in 1973, the American Brain Tumor Association was the first and only national patient advocacy organization committed to funding brain tumor research and providing support and education programs for people of all tumor types and all ages. The mission of the American Brain Tumor Association is to advance the understanding and treatment of brain tumors with the goals of improving, extending and, ultimately, saving the lives of those impacted by a brain tumor diagnosis. We do this through interactions and engagements with brain tumor patients and their families, collaborations with allied groups and organizations, and the funding of brain tumor research. Today, the ABTA is a catalyst for research-based breakthroughs in the causes, diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors, and recognized as the leading resource in patient-centered brain tumor information, education and support.

Did you know that brain cancer is the #1 cause of cancer death in children? 📅 For Childhood Cancer Awareness Month this September, we unite with the global community in the fight against pediatric cancer. We work hard every day to eradicate brain tumors but it’s an uphill battle. That’s why we are aiming to triple our research investment, double the patients we serve, and double federal funding for brain tumor research. 👉 https://lnkd.in/emWTd7TC #BrainTumorAwareness #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #btsm #braincancer

Dealing with a brain tumor diagnosis can be tough—emotionally, physically, and financially. That’s why we are so excited to be partnering with the Glenn Garcelon Foundation to offer limited financial assistance to help ease the burden for patients with primary benign or malignant CNS tumors. Whether it's covering medical bills, mortgage payments, or utilities, the fund is here to provide a little relief during a challenging time.
