Incidence, Mortality and Survival Time Trends of Brain and CNS Tumours in the Canton of Zurich (Switzerland) Between 1980 and 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We aimed to analyse trends in incidence, mortality and 5-year relative survival of malignant and benign/borderline brain and central nervous system (CNS) tumours between 1980 and 2021 in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland, stratified by sex, age group, behaviour and histological subtypes.

Methods

We used incidence data from the Cancer Registry of Zurich, Zug, Schaffhausen and Schwyz, including primary benign/borderline and malignant tumours diagnosed between 1980 and 2021 in the Canton of Zurich in patients aged ≥ 15 years (N = 10,226). Mortality data were provided by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (N = 3514). We calculated age-standardised incidence and mortality rates per 100,000 person-years and used Joinpoint to analyse trends.
