This is why early detection is so important.

Go Gray In May! Gray areas matter in May (and all year).

According to the National Cancer Institute, “Doctors will diagnose cancers of the brain or central nervous system in about 24,740 people in the United States in 2026. These cancers make up a portion of more than 94,000 brain tumors (including benign tumors) that occur each year in this country.”

While MRI technology is the gold standard for brain tumor detection, medical teams also rely on CT scans and PET-CT scans to detect and monitor lesions.
