摘要

The objective of CBTRUS Statistical Report: Primary Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors Diagnosed in the United States in 2005-2009 is to provide a current and comprehensive review of the descriptive epidemiology of primary brain and central nervous system (CNS) tumors in the United States population. CBTRUS has obtained data on all primary brain and CNS tumors from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) and the National Cancer Institute, Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program for diagnosis years 2005-2009. Incidence counts and rates of primary malignant and non-malignant brain and CNS tumors are documented by histology, gender, age, race, and Hispanic ethnicity.
