Prevalance
Incidence
- The overall age adjusted incidence rate of medulloblastoma is approximately 0.71 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[1]
Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor, comprising 14.5% of newly diagnosed cases.[2]
In adults, medulloblastoma is rare, comprising less than 2% of CNS malignancies.[3]
- Medulloblastoma and other PNET tumors are more prevalent in younger children than older children.
- 40% of medulloblastoma patients are diagnosed before the age of 5
- 31% are between the ages of 5 and 9
