This report aims to provide accurate nationwide epidemiologic data on primary brain and central nervous system (CNS) tumors in the Republic of Korea. We updated the data by analyzing primary brain and CNS tumors diagnosed in 2013 using the data from the national cancer incidence database.
Data on primary brain and CNS tumors diagnosed in 2013 were collected from the Korean Central Cancer Registry. Crude and age-standardized rates were calculated in terms of gender, age, and histological type.
A total of 11,827 patients were diagnosed with primary brain and CNS tumors in 2013. Brain and CNS tumors occurred in females more often than in males (female:male, 1.70:1). The most common tumor was meningioma (37.3%). Pituitary tumors (18.0%), gliomas (12.7%), and nerve sheath tumors (12.3%) followed in incidence. Glioblastomas accounted for 41.8% of all gliomas. In children (<19 years), sellar region tumors (pituitary and craniopharyngioma), embryonal/primitive/medulloblastoma, and germ cell tumors were the most common tumors.
This study should provide valuable information regarding the primary brain tumor epidemiology in Republic of Korea.
本报告旨在提供韩国原发性脑和中枢神经系统(CNS)肿瘤准确的全国性流行病学数据。我们通过分析2013年全国癌症发病数据库中诊断的原发性脑和CNS肿瘤数据进行了更新。
从韩国中央癌症登记处收集2013年诊断的原发性脑和CNS肿瘤数据。根据性别、年龄和组织学类型计算粗发病率和年龄标准化发病率。
2013年共有11827例患者被诊断为原发性脑和CNS肿瘤。脑和CNS肿瘤在女性中的发生率高于男性(女性:男性,1.70:1)。最常见的肿瘤是脑膜瘤(37.3%)。垂体瘤(18.0%)、胶质瘤(12.7%)和神经鞘瘤(12.3%)的发病率次之。胶质母细胞瘤占所有胶质瘤的41.8%。在儿童(<19岁)中,鞍区肿瘤(垂体瘤和颅咽管瘤)、胚胎性/原始性/髓母细胞瘤和生殖细胞肿瘤是最常见的肿瘤。
本研究应为韩国原发性脑肿瘤流行病学提供有价值的信息。
