Patients, care partners and medical professionals from around the world dedicate May 10, 2022 as the 11th annual Ependymoma Awareness Day!

Join the CERN Foundation and the National Brain Tumor Society during Brain Tumor Awareness Month to commemorate the 2022 Ependymoma Awareness Day! Ependymoma Awareness Day will be held on May 10 to represent the 10 different molecular groups of ependymoma and bring attention to the diversity of the disease. Held every year since 2012 as a global advocacy event, Ependymoma Awareness Day highlights the importance of an accurate diagnosis and the urgent need for better targeted treatments. The CERN Foundation will commemorate Ependymoma Awareness Day on May 10, 2022 with a virtual program at 1pm EST that will be available on Facebook as well as on the 2022 Ependymoma Awareness Day webpage.

The CERN Foundation and the National Brain Tumor Society have joined forces to help people with ependymoma and advance ependymoma research toward the development of new and better treatments through the creation of the Ependymoma Fund for Research and Education. Today, the CERN Foundation is officially a designated program of the National Brain Tumor Society. Donations to the Ependymoma Fund for Research and Education will be made on the NBTS website and used to support research efforts that will benefit both ependymoma patients and research through CERN. Emphasis will be placed on CERN’s historical model of supporting work that translates basic science into clinical practice. The Fund will also address overcoming barriers to clinical trial accrual and the development of new clinical studies for ependymoma patients. Additional funds will be used to support educational efforts through print, media, and awareness events. The new collaborative Ependymoma Fund will continue CERN’s practice and tradition of involving and collaborating with other scientists, medical providers, foundations and supporters of ependymoma research.
