Tumors that arise in the brain (primary brain tumors) represent 3.5% of all cancer cases in Norway. These tumors are not a homogenous group. Their occurrence can range from benign tumors that require limited treatment, to aggressive malignant tumors with a poor prognosis. Tumors from other parts of the body can spread (metastasize) to the brain forming secondary brain tumours. Of the primary brain tumors, gliomas represent the largest group. These are formed from the brain’s supporting cells and show different levels of malignancy, with glioblastomas as the most severe tumor type.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our work is focused on the challenges that brain tumor patients and their relatives encounter. We have prioritized working in close collaboration with patient organizations to enable better decision-making processes, where the integration of the patient perspective is central to the treatment delivered. NBTC was founded with the generous support from the Norwegian Cancer Society in collaboration with Norwegian Brain Tumor Association.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
