World Brain Tumor Day is celebrated annually on 8th of June. This day was set aside to be celebrated globally by an association of brain tumor that is based in Germany. World Brain Tumor Day helps in raising awareness to the public and educating them on brain tumor, a type of cancer that is not common and most people do not know about it. It is also a day that helps the people who are suffering from brain tumor in facing their challenges. Research has shown that brain tumor is the most common type of cancer affecting children today. Brain tumor is a condition that occurs when the cells in the brain multiply in an abnormal way or a way that cannot be controlled. The tumor can be malignant meaning it is cancerous or it can be non-cancerous (benign). We tried Creating awareness on the type of cancer and this includes the causes, management, and the treatment. During this process, discussions broadly included about its causes, symptoms, and treatment of the same. We in collaboration with Gouri Devi Hospital and Research Institute Durgapur even tried making people aware about the same putting up a paper ad in very well subscribed news daily, the same day. The awareness ad is shared below (keeping the details as it is.).
