Mission

The Brain Tumor Society was founded in 1989 as a national organization to provide hope and comfort to patients, survivors and families and to help them in their struggle against a brain tumor by offering concrete informational resources and supportive services. The Society was also chartered with the goal to fund brain tumor research in order to find new treatments, and ultimately, a cure. In June, 2008, the Society merged with the National Brain Tumor Foundation to form the National Brain Tumor Society. The new organization brings together the best of research and patient services to be a comprehensive resource for patients, families, caregivers, researchers, and medical professionals.
