An epidemiological survey of all primary central nervous system tumours in Australia was commenced in 1986. Cases was reported by the treating physician to the Australian Brain Tumour Register, located at the Victorian Cancer Registry. Ninety-three per cent of tumours were histologically confirmed and 69% were reviewed by an independent pathology panel. During the initial 3 years of the survey a total of 4577 brain tumours and 266 primary spinal cord tumours were reported to the Register. The age standardized rates for malignant tumours of the central nervous system, sum to 5.0/100,000 males and 3.4/100,000 females. Twenty-eight per cent of gliomas were biopsied only. Radiotherapy was administered to 57% of cerebral gliomas and 2% of these tumours were treated with adjuvant chemotherapy. Forty per cent of meningiomas were considered to have had a complete tumour resection.
1986年开始了一项对澳大利亚所有原发性中枢神经系统肿瘤的流行病学调查。治疗医生将病例报告给位于维多利亚癌症登记处的澳大利亚脑肿瘤登记处。93%的肿瘤经组织学确诊，69%由独立病理小组复查。在调查的最初3年里，登记处共收到4577例脑肿瘤和266例原发性脊髓肿瘤报告。中枢神经系统恶性肿瘤的年龄标准化发病率，男性为5.0/10万，女性为3.4/10万。28%的胶质瘤仅接受了活检。57%的脑胶质瘤接受了放疗，其中2%的肿瘤接受了辅助化疗。40%的脑膜瘤被认为已完全切除肿瘤。
