The [[Demographics|demographic patterns]] of craniopharyngioma are not well described because the [[tumor]] is rare. In addition, most [[Cancer registry|cancer registries]] collect [[data]] only on [[Malignant|malignant conditions]] and, therefore, they are not useful in the study of craniopharyngioma which is considered to be a [[Borderline|borderline histological malignancy]]. [[Incidence]] [[rates]] are similar in males and females and between caucasians and African Americans. [[Tumor|Tumors]] are more common among children of age 5 to 15 years and older adults of greater than 65 years, while the lowest rates occur among those aged 15 to 34 years. [[Survival analysis|Survival]] is highest for patients [[Diagnosis|diagnosed]] at a younger age.

Craniopharyngiomas are relatively uncommon, accounting for about 6% of all intracranial tumors in children.<ref>Epidemiology.National Library of Medicine.http://www.cancer.gov/types/brain/hp/child-cranio-treatment-pdq#link/_40_toc</ref>

===Incidence===
The incidence of craniopharyngioma in the United States was estimated from two population-based cancer registries that include brain tumors of benign and borderline malignancy: the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS) and the Los Angeles county Cancer Surveillance Program. Information on additional pediatric tumors was available from the Greater Delaware Valley Pediatric Tumor Registry (GDVPTR).

Overview

The demographic patterns of craniopharyngioma are not well described because the tumor is rare. In addition, most cancer registries collect data only on malignant conditions and, therefore, they are not useful in the study of craniopharyngioma which is considered to be a borderline histological malignancy. Incidence rates are similar in males and females and between caucasians and African Americans. Tumors are more common among children of age 5 to 15 years and older adults of greater than 65 years, while the lowest rates occur among those aged 15 to 34 years. Survival is highest for patients diagnosed at a younger age.

Epidemiology and demographics

Prevalence

Incidence

  • The overall incidence of craniopharyngioma is approximately 0.5 to 2 per 100,000 per year.[1]
  • The age distribution is bimodal with a peak in childhood and a second peak among middle-aged and older adults.[1]
  • No definite genetic relationship has been found and few familial cases reported. [1]

Age

Gender

  • There appears to be a similar incidence in both males and females.[3]

Race

  • No racial predilection is seen in craniopharyngioma cases.
  • Few studies show that there is a higher incidence rates reported in Japan and some parts of Africa. [1]
