- List of brain tumor patients
This article provides a list of notable people who had a primary or metastatic brain tumor (either benign or malignant) at some point in their lives, as confirmed by public information. Tumor type and survival duration are listed where the information is known. Blank spaces in these columns appear where precise information has not been released to the public. Medicine does not designate most long term survivors as cured.
To put survival periods in context, a Norwegian hospital reviewed 1,218 patient records from 1960–1994 and reported median survival times for several tumor types over this 35 year period as listed in the table below.[cite journal]
