Methods:The current study used data from the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States, provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to examine incidence and data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program to examine survival and prevalence in 16 distinct malignant brain and other CNS histologies in adults (aged 20 y and older at diagnosis) from 2000-2014 overall and by sex, age group, race, and ethnicity. Results:Glioblastoma had the highest incidence (4.40 per 100000) and prevalence (9.23 per 100000). Ependymal tumors had the highest 5- and 10-year relativ
