Brain Tumour Awareness Month 2008 Here are Statistics showing mortality and a graph showing mortality for 20 cancer types in 2005.
In association with a consortium of interested groups, SDBTT was to have appealed against NICE guidance in relation to the use of Temozolomide and Carmustine implants for the treatment of brain tumours earlier this year. The appeal was cancelled when NICE realised they had recognised a miscalculation in their appraisal model.
After keeping patients waiting for several months, NICE have now confirmed that it miscalculated the cost-effectiveness of Temozolomide earlier in the year.

Neil and Angela Dickson joined patrons Sandy Lyle and Fiona Fullerton at ICAP in London to help raise funds for the Trust. ICAP set aside a charity day each year and this year over £7 million was raised around the world for good causes. The Charity will receive £190,000 towards brain tumour research.
This is a wonderful outcome and our thanks go to the whole London ICAP team.
