Epidemiological record suggests that rates for new brain and other nervous system cancer cases have been falling on average 0.2% each year over the last 10 years. Death rates have not changed significantly over 2002-2012. 5-year survival rate is 33.3%
In 2012, the prevalence and incidence of brain tumors were 148,818 and 6.4 per 100,000 persons per year respectively. The case-mortality rate of brain tumors is 4.4 per 100,000 persons per year. Patients of all age-group develop this cancer. Males are more affected with gliomas than females. Females are more affected with meningiomas. It usually affects individuals of the caucasian race. African Americans are less likely to develop this cancer.

Overview

In 2012, the prevalence and incidence of brain tumors were 148,818 and 6.4 per 100,000 persons per year respectively. The case-mortality rate of brain tumors is 4.4 per 100,000 persons per year. Patients of all age-group develop this cancer. Males are more affected with gliomas than females. Females are more affected with meningiomas. It usually affects individuals of the caucasian race. African Americans are less likely to develop this cancer.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Brain tumors account for 85% to 90% of all primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors.

Prevalence

  • In 2012, there were an estimated 148,818 people living with brain and other nervous system cancer in the United States.[1]

Incidence

  • Available registry data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database for 2012 indicate that the combined incidence of primary CNS tumors in the United States is 6.4 per 100,000 persons per year, with an estimated mortality of 4.4 per 100,000 persons per year. These rates are age-adjusted and based on 2008-2012 cases and deaths.
  • Estimated new cases and deaths from brain tumors and other nervous system tumors in the United States in 2015
    • New cases: 22,850
    • Percentage of all new cancer cases: 1.4%
    • Deaths: 15,320[2]
    • Percentage of all cancer deaths: 2.6%
  • In 2015, it is estimated that there will be 22,850 new cases of brain and other nervous system cancer and an estimated 15,320 people will die of this disease.

Age

  • Brain tumors are seen in all age-groups.

Gender

  • Gliomas are more frequent in men and meningiomas are more frequent in women.

Race

  • Caucasians > African Americans

Others

  • Lifetime Risk of Developing Cancer : Approximately 0.6 percent of men and women will be diagnosed with brain and other nervous system cancer at some point during their lifetime, based on 2010-2012 data.
