Investing in the field of neuro-oncology to accelerate breakthroughs to beat brain cancer.
Why We Fight to Beat Brain Cancer
We fight to beat brain cancer because the urgency to find effective treatments and a cure is matched only by the courage and resilience of those battling this relentless disease.
Brain cancer is one of the most complex and deadly forms of cancer, with tens of thousands of new cases diagnosed each year. It knows no geographical brounderies and affects patients of all ages and backgrounds, disrupting lives and posing significant challenges to treatment. The need for more effective therapies and support is urgent, and that’s why Beat Brain Cancer is committed to being at the forefront of this fight by advancing research and education to drive the discoveries that will lead to new treatments and improve outcomes.”

We have partnered with SNO since 2012, and this support has greatly extended our ability to share accurate, population-based incidence rates for primary brain tumors that we hope may provide clues to stimulate research into the causes of this terrible disease”

President, Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States
We are cultivating a global community of innovators
We understand that the future of neuro-oncology hinges on the development of the next generation of professionals who will carry forward the fight against brain cancer. By investing in these emerging leaders, we are not just advancing a field of medicine—we are cultivating a global community of innovators dedicated to Beat Brain Cancer.
My involvement with the Society for Neuro-Oncology has been a defining aspect of my journey as a young aspiring physician-scientist. Through SNO, I have gained access to a vibrant network of neuro-oncology professionals and cutting-edge research that has deepened my understanding of neurological diseases, particularly brain tumors. The opportunities to present my work at SNO Annual Meetings and collaborate with experts have been instrumental in shaping my career path and have reaffirmed my commitment to advancing neuro-oncological care, particularly in underserved regions like Africa. These experiences have not only enriched my understanding of neurological diseases but have also shaped my vision of addressing the lack of neuro-oncological care in Africa. The support and recognition from SNO have opened new doors, inspiring me to further pursue impactful research and advocacy in neurology and neuro-oncology, driving me to continue advocating for improved neurological healthcare and to contribute to scientific research on a global scale.

Receiving the scholarship to attend the SNO Annual Meeting was very meaningful because it gave me the opportunity to network with possible mentors, learn more about the fellowship application/process, expand my foundation in neuro-oncology, and build life-long skills for my career in neuro-oncology!
