Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Medulloblastoma is the second most common brain tumor among the pediatric population.[1] The overall age adjusted incidence rate of medulloblastoma is approximately 0.71 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[2] The incidence of medulloblastoma decreases with age; the median age at diagnosis is between 5 to 7 years.[3] Males are more commonly affected with medulloblastoma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.44 to 1.[2]
Prevalence
- Medulloblastoma is the second most common brain tumor among the pediatric population.[1]
- Medulloblastoma is considered a rare tumor among adults , as it compromise fewer than 2% of all brain tumors.
Incidence
- The overall age adjusted incidence rate of medulloblastoma is approximately 0.71 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[2]
Age
- The incidence of medulloblastoma decreases with age; the median age at diagnosis is between 5 to 7 years.[3]
- The molecular subgroup of medulloblastoma influence the age of presentation such as:[4]
- WNT medulloblastoma subgroup present among older children
- SHH medulloblastoma subgroup present among infants and adults
- Group 3 medulloblastoma present among younger children
- Group 4 medulloblastoma present among younger younger children
Gender
- The overall age adjusted incidence rate of medulloblastoma among male patients is approximately 0.84 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[2]
- The overall age adjusted incidence rate of medulloblastoma among female patients is approximately 0.58 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.
- Males are more commonly affected with medulloblastoma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.44 to 1.
Race
- There is no racial predilection to medulloblastoma[5]
