Funded Activity Summary

Gliomas are the most common brain tumours, with more than 1,500 new cases diagnosed in Australia each year. Around 50% of all glioma patients suffer from seizures, which are difficult to control with current anti-epileptic drugs. The epilepsy and the side-effects of the drug therapies are a major cause of morbidity and impaired quality of life. It is also a significant burden on the economy, leading to more and longer hospital admissions, and loss of productivity for both patients and carers.
