BACKGROUND/AIM: The main objective of this study was to evaluate if there was an increased incidence of brain tumours between years 1980-2012, a time period when mobile phone usage has increased substantially.
From the Swedish Cancer Registry, cases of meningiomas, low-grade gliomas (LGG) and high-grade gliomas (HGG) were identified in patients between 1980-2012. Direct age-standardised incidence rates were used to calculate incidence trends over time.
A total of 13,441 cases of meningiomas, 12,259 cases of high-grade gliomas and 4,555 cases of LGG were reported to the register during the study period. The results suggest that there may be a negative development in the trend for LGG of -0,016 cases per 100,000 and year, corresponding to a mean reduction of approximately 1% per year.
The present study was not able to demonstrate an increased incidence of glioma during the past 30 years in Sweden.
背景/目的:本研究的主要目的是评估在1980年至2012年期间(这一时期手机使用量大幅增加)脑肿瘤发病率是否上升。
从瑞典癌症登记处识别出1980年至2012年期间患有脑膜瘤、低级别胶质瘤(LGG)和高级别胶质瘤(HGG)的患者病例。采用直接年龄标准化发病率来计算随时间变化的发病趋势。
在研究期间,登记处共报告了13441例脑膜瘤病例、12259例高级别胶质瘤病例和4555例低级别胶质瘤病例。结果表明,低级别胶质瘤的发病趋势可能呈负增长,每10万人每年减少0.016例,相当于每年平均减少约1%。
本研究未能证明过去30年瑞典胶质瘤发病率上升。
