Abstract
The Brain Tumor Epidemiology Consortium (BTEC) is an international organization with membership of individuals from the scientific community with interests related to brain tumor epidemiology, including surveillance, classification, methodology, etiology, and factors associated with morbidity and survival. The 2024 annual BTEC meeting entitled “Survivorship from Pediatric and Adult Brain Tumors” was held in Mainz, Germany, USA, on May 15–17, 2024. The meeting gathered scientists from Africa, Australia, Europe, and North America and included 4 keynote sessions focusing on brain tumor survivorship across the age spectrum. The meeting included 3 abstract sessions, which also included scientific talks around brain tumor risk factors and predicting risk and survival. We also held a brainstorming session to form a near-term research strategy around brain tumor survivorship in the epidemiology community. This report provides a summary of the meeting content.
