Ependymoma is a rare primary brain or spinal cord tumour diagnosed in children and adults. Ependymoma Awareness Day (EAD) was established in 2012 by the CERN Foundation as part of a global effort to shine a light on this poorly understood disease.
Held on June 10th, Ependymoma Awareness Day brings attention to the unique challenges faced by ependymoma patients, survivors, care partners, researchers, and medical providers. Our goal with Ependymoma Awareness Day is to increase public and professional recognition of this rare tumor, shine a light on the unique challenges faced by the ependymoma community, and express the urgent need to develop better-targeted treatments and clinical trials to improve quality of life.
