National Brain Tumor Society

National Brain Tumor Society (NBTS) is a leader in the brain tumor community, bringing together the best of research and patient services.  We invest wisely and strategically across the research spectrum, seeking new therapies and improving existing treatments for all types of brain tumors.  There are over 100 types of brain tumors.  In addition, the molecular mechanisms that drive even individual tumor types are very complex, resulting in a number of tumor subtypes (e.g. glioblastoma multiforme subtypes).  A personalized medicine approach is required to effectively treat individual patients.
