Primary malignant brain tumors following systemic malignancies: a population-based analysis

CONCLUSION: Our study provides a comprehensive analysis of clinical data and the SIRs of patients with primary malignant brain tumors afterwards other systemic malignancies. Genetic relationships might play a key role in subsequent malignant brain tumor origin. Our data provide directions for future studies exploring the hidden associations between systemic malignancies and primary malignant brain tumors.
