World Brain Tumour Day

Every year on June 8, World Brain Tumour Day is observed to raise awareness about brain tumours. It is also the global day of solidarity with brain tumour patients and their families. The

World Health Organization

(WHO) established this day in 2000 as a focal point for allocating resources to research and treat brain tumours.

What is World Brain Tumour Day?

On World Brain Tumour Day, we remember everyone who has been affected by brain cancer. Every year, we fight this disease by raising awareness and funds to assist those who are affected.

It was founded in 2000 to unite the global community in the fight against this disease. Every year on October 2nd, it is observed. This day allows individuals and organisations to raise funds and support organisations working to find a cure for brain cancer.

Brain cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide, and it is expected to overtake lung cancer as the second most common cancer by 2030. We must all work together to find a cure for this disease, and World Brain Tumour Day is a good place to start.

What are the symptoms of a brain tumour?

If you are concerned about a friend or family member who may have a brain tumour, here are some of the most common symptoms:

1. Symptoms can appear subtly at first and gradually worsen over time.

2. People with brain tumours frequently struggle with memory and concentration, as well as coordination, balance, and fine motor skills.

3. Some people with brain tumours may experience mood changes such as depression or restlessness.

4. Many people who have brain tumours also have vision and hearing problems.

5. If you notice any of these symptoms in a loved one, seek medical attention immediately. Although there is no guaranteed cure for brain tumours, early detection and treatment are critical to ensuring the best possible outcome.

World Brain Tumour Day 2022: Conclusion

This date was chosen because it marks the 50th anniversary of Professor Martin Lewis’s diagnosis of the first human case of a brain tumour at University College London in 1952. It is estimated that over 191,000 people are currently living with a brain tumour, with the number growing each year. We, at Sujata Birla Hospital, encourage everyone to participate in World Brain Tumour Day events throughout the year to help raise awareness and funds for brain tumour research.
