The ANA has had a remarkable impact in its 40 years of supporting acoustic neuroma patients. Well-established as the premier resource for the AN community, the Acoustic Neuroma Association is steadfast in its commitment to improve outcomes and improve lives. An acoustic neuroma, also called a vestibular schwannoma, is a rare, non-cancerous tumor. Acoustic tumors constitute 6%-10% of all brain tumors and are found in roughly one of every 100,000 people per year in the U.S. This translates to about 3,000 newly diagnosed acoustic tumors per year. An acoustic neuroma is not usually life-threatening, but it is life-altering. The future of the ANA can be found in what we’re doing today: Expanding the ways we connect with patients and deliver much-needed support; Engaging leading medical experts representing an ever-widening range of specialties; Broadening our substantial menu of topics and content for all of our educational opportunities, both online and in-person; Increasing our investment in support of cutting-edge research. By making a contribution, you are supporting the inspiring mission of the ANA and providing countless opportunities for education, engagement, and research. Every patient should have the opportunity to make well-informed treatment decisions to ensure the best possible outcome. Let’s make that happen together.
