Brief summary

The aim of this study is to establish a comprehensive registry to capture the lived experiences of patients with brain tumours. Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are a male or female age 18 or older, have a brain tumour diagnosis, including but not limited to glioma, meningioma, brain metastases and rare tumours including medulloblastoma and ependymoma. Study details Participants will be asked to self register to the BEACON portal and complete questionnaires every 3 months regarding 1) Diagnosis and treatment, 2) Home supports (3) Quality of life. All data entered will be available to the participant to download after each survey is completed. It is anticipated that the surveys will take between 20 to 30 minutes to complete each time. It is hoped that BEACON will assist in determining the impact of being diagnosed with a brain tumour, from the time of diagnosis through treatment, and recurrence or progression events, and survivorship.
