每年6月8日，全球都會慶祝「世界腦腫瘤日」。
Every year on June 8th, the world observes World Brain Tumor Day.
此活動於2000年由德國腦腫瘤協會發起，旨在提升全球意識、倡導更好的護理，並支持受腦腫瘤影響的人們。
Launched in 2000 by the German Brain Tumor Association, this day aims to raise global awareness, advocate for better care, and support those affected by brain tumors.
雖然腦腫瘤僅佔所有癌症診斷的3%左右，但其對個人認知與身體健康的影響卻極為深遠。
While brain tumors account for roughly 3% of all cancer diagnoses, their impact on a person's cognitive and physical health is profound.
腦腫瘤是指在堅硬顱骨內異常的細胞生長，即使是良性的，也可能導致危及生命的壓力。
A brain tumor is an abnormal cell growth inside the rigid skull, which can cause life-threatening pressure even if the growth is benign.
該運動的官方象徵是灰絲帶，代表大腦的灰質。
The official symbol of this movement is the grey ribbon, representing the brain's gray matter.
儘管已取得進展，但仍存在顯著的「護理差距」，特別是在缺乏磁振造影(MRI)等先進診斷工具的低收入國家。
Despite progress, a significant 'care gap' persists, particularly in low-income nations lacking advanced diagnostic tools like MRIs.
在這一天，我們受鼓勵配戴灰色物品、使用#WorldBrainTumorDay分享資訊，並支持對免疫療法等創新治療的研究。
On this day, we are encouraged to wear grey, share information using #WorldBrainTumorDay, and support research into innovative treatments like immunotherapy.
