Brain tumours are the top cancer killer in NZ children and young adults, with rising cases and low survival rates, prompting calls for a national registry.
Brain Tumour Support NZ is raising awareness during International Brain Tumour Awareness Week (Oct 25–Nov 1, 2025), highlighting a rising number of brain tumour cases in New Zealand, with 429 primary malignant tumours diagnosed in 2023.
The charity notes brain tumours are the leading cause of cancer deaths in children under 15 and people under 40, disproportionately affecting Māori youth, and have low survival rates, especially for glioblastoma.
It calls for a national registry to improve data and care, relying on donations and public support to provide resources and advocacy.
