The Life of a Brain Tumour: How does a glioma grow?

What is a brain tumour? How does a brain tumour start and spread inside the brain? Why are they so hard to treat? What are the current treatment options? How do we study them in the lab? Come along and see Mr Saam Youshani, a neurosurgeon from Salford Royal Hospital who will cover these topics. Most importantly he will discuss the research happening right here in Manchester in the fight against brain tumours.
