Dysembryoplastic Neuroepithelial Tumour is a rare but non-cancerous brain tumour that mostly affects children and teenagers. This tumour usually forms in the temporal lobe of the brain, which controls memory and emotions.
DNET is most commonly discovered in young people who have seizures that do not improve with regular medication. Though it sounds serious, Dysembryoplastic Neuroepithelial Tumour is considered benign, meaning it doesn’t spread to other parts of the brain or body.
Many sufferers of Dysembryoplastic Neuroepithelial Tumour 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 Dysembryoplastic Neuroepithelial Tumour. We have recently created an Dysembryoplastic Neuroepithelial Tumour 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.
