International Brain Tumour Alliance

The International Brain Tumour Alliance (IBTA) is a non-profit organization that seeks to achieve for brain tumour patients, their families and their caregivers a wider public recognition of the specific challenges which they face in dealing with their disease. It seeks to be an alliance of the support, advocacy and information groups for brain tumour patients and caregivers in different countries and also includes researchers, scientists, clinicians and allied health professionals who work in the area of brain tumours. IBTA advocates the development of improved access to a multi-disciplinary specialist range of services, including palliative care, rehabilitation (speech, neuropsychology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, etc) and psychosocial support, to ensure that services are at all times appropriate to the needs of people living with a brain tumour and their families.
