Abstract

Brain tumor is the most common cause of death from intracranial disease, second to stroke ∼18,500 new diagnoses of brain tumor per year in the US in 2005 ∼12,760 deaths from brain tumor per year in the US in 2005 Metastatic brain tumors are twice as prevalent as primary brain tumors in the adult population Overall 5-year survival of all brain tumors is estimated to be 33% The only well-validated risk factor for developing primary brain tumor is ionizing radiation exposure, typically from prior treatment of cancer Gliomas account for ∼33% of all primary brain tumors 67% of all gliomas are high grade gliomas
