Our latest report on National Research Funding into brain tumour research reveals the true impact of the funding landscape on the lives of brain tumour patients and their families. Statistics on funding levels for Government bodies and some of the UK’s leading cancer charities have been revealed for the first time through a data request for unpublished information from the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) and direct requests to some of their partners.
The charity Brain Tumour Research has used data sources from national statistics authorities for the UK and devolved nations to analyse mortality, incidence and survival data to expose the current impact of the historical underfunding into brain tumour research. The charity also commissioned a poll of over 2000 UK adults, conducted by Populus, this year.
