Abstract
- Background: The goal of this study was to provide up-to-date and comprehensive statistics on incidence, survival, and prevalence rates for selected malignant brain and other CNS tumors in adults.<br />Methods: The current study used data from the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States, provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to examine incidence and data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program to examine survival and prevalence in 16 distinct malignant brain and other CNS histologies in adults (aged 20 y and older at diagnosis) from 2000-2014 overall and by sex, age group, race, and ethnicity.<br />Results: Glioblastoma had the highest incidence (4.40 per 100000) and prevalence (9.23 per 100000). Ependymal tumors had the highest 5- and 10-year relative survivals (87.8% and 84.5%, respectively), while glioblastoma had the lowest 5- and 10-year relative survivals (5.4% and 2.7%, respectively). Females generally had better survival and lower prevalence than males. Younger adults tended to have better survival than older adults, and prevalence varied greatly by age and histology. While survival did not vary significantly by race, white adults had higher prevalence than the other race groups. Hispanics generally had better survival rates and lower prevalence than non-Hispanics.<br />Conclusions: Survival varied greatly by age and ethnicity. Prevalence differed by sex, age, race, and ethnicity.
