Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States

CBTRUS provides up-to-date statistics on primary malignant & non-malignant brain and other CNS tumors in the US. Reports are published in Neuro-Oncology.

[Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States @BrainTumorStats]

In 2018, a total of 379,695 years of expected life were lost due to early death attributed to brain and other CNS tumors. The majority of these deaths (96%) were due to malignant tumors.

There was a slight statistically significant decrease in incidence of malignant primary brain tumors from 2004-2017. Non-malignant brain tumors had statistically significant increases in incidence from 2004-2018, followed by a non-significant decrease from 2018-2022.

In ages 0-14 years malignant brain and other CNS cancer is the most common cause of cancer death, second among ages 15-39 years, and the twelfth among older adults ages 40+ years.

#BrainTumors were the most common newly diagnosed #childhoodcancer in ages 0-14 years and the second most common in adolescents and young adults ages 15-39 years.

Since 2004, incidence of brain tumors was consistently higher than any other tumor type in ages 0-19. For brain tumors, incidence increased significantly from 2004 to 2016, followed by significant decrease after 2016. #ChildhoodCancerAwareness @PBTF @NeuroOnc

CBTRUS data is used by organizations, researchers, and providers. @glioblastomaorg is one example of how our stats support the brain tumor community.

[Glioblastoma Research Organization @glioblastomaorg]

In the United States, glioblastoma has an average annual age-adjusted incidence rate of 3.27 per 100,000 people, translating to roughly 10,900 new cases diagnosed each year.⁠

May 17 was Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) awareness day. This is a rare and lethal childhood cancer. Starting 2024, the pons site was made identifiable by US cancer registries allowing us to calculate incidence of DIPG.
It's time to #DefeatDIPG. #GoGoldandGrayEveryDay

Find CBTRUS at #SNOPeds2025. Our data was used in collaboration with @prtbtcatduke. Check out the presentation at the ATRT and EMRT Session at 10AM.

It's International Childhood Cancer Day!

In the US, brain tumors are the most common cancer type and the leading cause of cancer death among those aged 0-14. (CBTRUS Statistical Report, 2024).

CBTRUS is the premier brain tumor registry through which we are able to promote continued research. On #WorldCancerDay we acknowledge all the cancer registrars who work tirelessly and the communities they serve.

Thanks to @NCRAnews and @NAACCR for their advocacy efforts. The bill now heads to the House of Representatives. It would be a major milestone for #CancerResearch and our #Veterans!

[Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States @BrainTumorStats]

Great news for our #data: the Counting Veterans' Cancer Act of 2023 was passed this week.

This act allows the VA to report #cancer cases without need for data use agreements, improve the completeness of cancer statistics for states and the nation, and supports research. @NAACCR

#GrayMay is a time to unite with people living with #braintumors & their loved ones to spread awareness about this deadly disease.

Share quick, impactful stats about where we are in our mission to conquer & cure brain tumors, and inspire others to take action this month. #BTAM
