Epidemiology and Outcome of Primary Central Nervous System Tumors Treated at King Hussein Cancer Center.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors are often associated with relatively poor outcomes. Data on the epidemiology and outcome of CNS tumors in Jordan are scarce. We aim to report the epidemiology and outcome of primary CNS tumors of patients managed at a comprehensive cancer care center in Jordan.

Methods

We performed a retrospective chart review of all Jordanian patients with a primary CNS tumor diagnosis who were managed at the center between July 2003 and June 2019. We included all entities described in the 2021 CNS WHO classification system, in addition to pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs). We used the Kaplan-Meier method to estimate the 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates for each entity.
