Association of county-level socioeconomic status with meningioma incidence and outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prior literature suggests that individual socioeconomic status (SES) may influence incidence, treatments, and survival of brain tumor cases. We aim to conduct the first national study to evaluate the association between US county-level SES and incidence, treatment, and survival in meningioma.

Methods

The Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States analytic dataset, which combines data from CDC's National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) and National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program, was used to identify meningioma cases from 2006 to 2019.
