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.

-===Brain tumors in infants and children===
-In 2000 approximately 2.76 children per 100,000 will be affected by a [[brain tumor|CNS tumor]] in the United States each year.  This rate has been increasing and by 2005 was 3.0 children per 100,000.  This is approximately 2,500-3,000 pediatric brain tumors occurring each year in the US.  The tumor incidence is increasing by about 2.7% per year.
-The [[Central Nervous System|CNS]] Cancer survival rate in children is approximately 60%.<ref>[http://seer.cancer.gov/publications/childhood/cns.pdf  See Table 11.2 Survival Rate]</ref>  However, this rate varies with the age of onset (younger has higher mortality) and cancer type.
-In children under 2, about 70% of brain tumors are [[medulloblastoma]], [[ependymoma]], and low-grade [[glioma]].  Less commonly, and seen usually in infants, are [[teratoma]] and [[ATRT|atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor]].<ref>[http://www.childhoodbraintumor.org/InfantileBrainTumors.html ''Infantile Brain Tumors'' by Brian Rood for The Childhood Brain Tumor Foundation] (accessed July 2007)</ref>
