Problem

Each year approximately 18,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with primary brain cancer – a particularly devastating, virulent disease. Each year, nearly 13,000 people die from brain tumors. Today, researchers have new hope for finding better treatments and, ultimately, a cure for brain cancer. To advance, they must have resources to further their ideas.
