Meningioma: Most Common, Yet Underfunded
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a meningioma, know that you are part of a significant community. Meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumors, representing over 30% of all brain tumors in adults. Tragically, research aimed at developing effective, targeted therapies for meningiomas has historically received disproportionately low funding relative to their prevalence. It is this critical gap that Meningioma Mommas is determined to fill by supporting dedicated scientific inquiry.
