Incidence of Central Nervous System Tumors in Gironde, France

Abstract: The incidence of CNS tumors is subject to geographical and temporal variations which are poorly understood. The incidence of these tumors was studied in Gironde, a department of southwestern France with 1,058,911 inhabitants older than 16 years. We recorded any malignant or benign central nervous system (CNS) tumor diagnosed between May 1999 and April 2001 in adults living in Gironde. Three hundred and twenty-nine CNS tumors were diagnosed during the study period. The incidence of CNS tumors in adults was ther… Show more

“…Primary spinal cord tumors are one of the rarest categories of tumors, representing about 4-16 % of all tumors arising from the central nervous systems (CNS) according to previous reports [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Because of variation in population sizes studied and classification of tumors, the frequencies of different spinal cord tumors vary among these reports.…”

“…The relative rarity of primary malignant and nonmalignant spine tumors limits research, treatment decisions, and health care planning related to this condition2,4,5,10). It is important to determine the epidemiology of primary spine tumor accurately for decision-making regarding treatment and for research and health care planning3,6,13,15).…”

“…Primary spinal cord tumors are considered rare, accounting for only 4–8% of all primary central nervous system (CNS) lesions 5,6,8,14 . To date, there have been no large population based epidemiological studies analyzing incidence patterns over time for this tumor type.…”
