Spectrum of pediatric brain tumors in India.

摘要

The article by Jain et al. describes the histological spectrum of pediatric brain tumors in a multi-institutional study incorporating several tertiary hospitals located in various geographical regions across India. Although there have been several reports regarding the incidence and prevalence of pediatric brain tumors in the western and far eastern literature, such studies have been distinctly lacking in the Indian subcontinent. This study is certainly the first of its kind on the subject, and the authors should be commended for their efforts in this regard.
