Brain Tumors: What Helps
Practical guidance for the moments that matter most in brain and spine tumors—especially when a brain scan first shows a mass and decisions need to be made.
These short videos help patients and caregivers understand what questions to ask, what needs to be decided now, and how to approach care more clearly.
Created by Dr. Terri Armstrong, PhD, neuro-oncology clinician and researcher.
Brain Tumors: What Helps
Knowledge changes conversations.
In neuro-oncology, understanding the full patient experience helps us recognize symptoms earlier, improve support, and make better decisions throughout the disease journey.
Awareness matters.
Listening matters.
Patient experience matters.

Brain Tumors: What Helps
What patients live through matters.
Our new study found that people with brain and spine tumors often experience high symptom burden, emotional distress, and major effects on daily functioning.
We need to measure more than scans and survival.
We need to understand the lived experience of disease.
