Hopeful spirit on Swedish Brain Tumor Day

In September 2024, the National Brain Tumor Day was held at Akademiska Hospital in Uppsala, Sweden. The lectures can be viewed afterward.

More than 130 people attended in person, with almost as many joining digitally.


The morning was divided into three tracks: one for patients, relatives, and survivors; one for nurses, psychologists, and occupational therapists; and one for doctors. In the afternoon, all the tracks came together. Joint lectures and a panel discussion were held for an engaged audience.


The various research projects presented provided inspiration, knowledge, hope—and also tools to manage daily life for patients and their loved ones.


Between the sessions, lunch and refreshments were served, with opportunities for mingling and networking.


Most of the lectures have been recorded and can be viewed on the Brain Tumor Association's website.


In 2025, National Brain Tumor Day will be held in Lund, Sweden.
