PRLog -- Brain tumors continue to be very difficult to treat and often times people do not want to talk about brain tumors. Despite this, brain tumors continue to be the leading cause of solid tumor death in children and men under the age of 40. Furthermore 20% of cancers will spread to the brain. It is important to find effective treatments and researchers at UCLA, Cedars-Sinai and Children's Hospital Los Angeles look forward to the Annual
Heroes of Hope Race for Brain Tumor Research to raise funds for research with the hope that one day soon, there will be many more treatment options for those impacted by brain tumors.
