Reinstate Funding for the Pediatric Brian Tumor Consortium
The National Cancer Institute’s decision to end funding for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium (PBTC) threatens to halt critical research for children with brain cancer. Since 1999, PBTC has completed 42 studies and provided treatment options to over 2,200 children—many with no alternatives. Congress must act now to restore funding and protect the future of pediatric brain tumor research.
