Trends in the incidence of Primary malignant brain tumors in Taiwan and correlation with comorbidities: a population-based study
Brain tumors are a mixed group of primary and metastatic neoplasms that exhibit varying degrees of malignancy. Malignant lesions are relatively uncommon, but their incidence has increased rapidly in highly developed, industrialized countries [1]. Primary malignant brain tumors have drawn wide attention not only because of their poor prognosis, but also for their direct impact on neurologic function, psychological health, and quality of life [2]. Over the past decades, advances in diagnostic methods have revealed a trend toward an increased incidence of brain tumors [3,4].
