Nonmalignant and malignant meningioma incidence and survival in the elderly, 2005-2015, using the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Meningioma incidence increases significantly with age. In the expanding elderly population, we lack complete understanding of population-based trends in meningioma incidence/survival. We provide an updated, comprehensive analysis of meningioma incidence and survival for individuals aged over 65.

Methods

Data were obtained from the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS) from 2005-2015 for nonmalignant and malignant meningioma. Age-adjusted incidence rates per 100000 person-years were analyzed by age, sex, race, ethnicity, location, and treatment modalities. Survival was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models for a subset of CBTRUS data.

Results

Nonmalignant meningioma incidence doubled from adults ag
