Researchers Find Global Variation in Recorded Distribution of Brain Tumors
A recent study published in “Neuro-Oncology” has found that brain tumor global histology distribution differs significantly, which suggests inconsistencies in data quality and registration practices. Researchers examined data from more than 280 cancer registries that took part in the CONCORD-3 study, which was made up of more than 670,000 adults and 67,000 children with brain tumors diagnosed between 2000 and 2014. Some countries were excluded from the analysis as their records didn’t have viable morphology codes. The study population was made up of more than 600,000 adults, aged between 15 to 99 years, and more than 60,000 children, aged between…
