Christian Englert's form Brain cancer which was diagnosed in 2015 when Christian was 15 years old, is the only brain cancer of its kind that has been diagnosed in a person who is younger than middle age at least since the year 2000.

Christian Englert had to deal with hand tremors for the 1st 15 years of his life which were thought to be genetic, considering that his sister and father both had similar tremors. However, Christian's tremors got worse in 2015 and the 15 year old finally went to a neurologist and not long after that, he was diagnosed with the more than rare Brain Cancer known as Pineal Parenchymal Tumor With Intermediate Differentation. This form of cancer was only diagnosed 5 other times in the years between 2000 and 2015 with all of those coming in people who were at least middle age. Miraculously according to his doctors , Christian is now 8 1/2 years past his diagnosis and is a considered to be a cancer survivor. Christian has graduated college, received his Masters degree, is very much an advocate for the Make A Wish Foundation, and is living as good of a life as possible.
