Central Neurocytoma is a rare and mostly non-cancerous brain tumour that usually occurs in young adults between the ages of 20 and 40.
This tumour grows in the brain’s ventricles, which are the fluid-filled spaces inside the brain. Because of its location, it can block the flow of brain fluid and cause pressure to build up, leading to different symptoms. Although it is not typically aggressive, early diagnosis and treatment are important.
Many sufferers of Central Neurocytoma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Central Neurocytoma. We have recently created an Central Neurocytoma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
