Epidemiological trends, relative survival, and prognosis risk factors of WHO Grade III gliomas: A population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Population-based studies on grade III gliomas are still lacking. The purpose of our study was to investigate epidemiological characteristics, survival, and risk factors of these tumors.

Patients and methods

All data of patients with grade III gliomas were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. This database provides analysis to evaluate age-adjusted incidence, incidence-based mortality, and limited-duration prevalence. The trends of incidence and mortality were modeled using Joinpoint program. Relative survival was also available in this database. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to access the prognostic significance of risk factors on cancer-specific survival. Nomogram was constructed to predict 3-, 5-, and 10-year
