Changes in survival over time for primary brain and other CNS tumors in the United States, 2004-2017.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Despite advances in cancer diagnosis and clinical care, survival for many primary brain and other central nervous system (CNS) tumors remain poor. This study performs a comprehensive survival analysis on these tumors.

Methods

Survival differences were determined utilizing the National Program of Cancer Registries Survival Analytic file for primary brain and CNS tumors. Overall survival and survival of the 5 most common histopathologies, within specific age groups, were determined. Overall survival was compared for three time periods: 2004-2007, 2008-2012, and 2013-2017. Survival differences were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. Models were adjusted for sex, race/ethnicity, and treatment. Malignant and non-malignant brain
