... tumors in Jordan among the general population was 5.01 per 100,000 person-years (5.38 in females and 4.65 in males). The incidence in pediatric, adult, and elderly patients was 2.09, 7.29, and 14.38 per 100,000 person-years, respectively. The most common histological types were meningioma (26.2...

... in the age group of 60-64 years (3.04/100,000). Schwannoma accounted for 56% and meningioma accounted for 13% of the tumors. The histological type with the highest incidence was schwannoma (0.90/100,000), followed by meningioma (0.20/100,000). Conclusions: Due to the high incidence of schwannomas...

...Lucía Cea-Soriano; Mari-Ann Wallander; Luis A. García Rodríguez Background: Data on the epidemiology and aetiology of meningioma are limited. Methods: The Health Improvement Network UK primary care database was used to ascertain incident cases of meningioma between January 1996 and June 2008. Ten...

...Faith Davis; Björn Tavelin; James Grutsch; Beatrice Malmer This study quantifies the risk of second primary tumors following a diagnosis of meningioma. 12,012 meningiomas and 926 second primary cancers were identified (ICD7, path code 461) between1958 and 1997 using Swedish Cancer Registry data...

...Leslie E. Phillips; W.T. Longstreth Jr; Thomas Koepsell; Brian S. Custer; Walter A. Kukull; Gerald van Belle Motivated by prior studies, we examined associations between cigarette smoking and risk of intracranial meningioma in a population-based case-control study, including 200 cases and 2...

... with histologically confirmed glioma (354 high-grade, 135 low-grade), 197 with meningioma, and 96 with acoustic neuroma. The ratio of left-sided to right-sided tumors did not differ significantly from 1.00 for any of the major tumor types. Low-grade glioma and meningioma occurred nonsignificantly more often...

...Are Helseth The age-adjusted incidence rate for intracranial meningiomas increased from 0.6 patients per 100,000 population in the period 1963–1972 to 1.5 in 1983–1992 for males and correspondingly from 1.0 to 2.8 for females. An incidence fall-off after 70 years of age was evident, presumably...

... by types were 9.7 for meningiomas (men 5.3; women 13.9), 9.1 for tumors of the neuroepithelial group (men 10; women 8.1), 3.7 for adenomas (men 2.6; women 4.6), and 1.9 for neurinomas (men 2.9; women 0.9). Incidence rate increased with age. Meningiomas comprised 37% of the PIT, followed by tumors...

...) and ''other gliomas'' in females. No association with body mass, as expressed by Quetelet''s index, was found for patients with meningioma. 26 10 1989 © 1989 S. Karger AG, Basel 1989 Copyright / Drug Dosage / Disclaimer Copyright: All rights reserved. No part of this publication may...

...Susan Preston-Martin This report presents data on the distribution of 8,612 cases of primary tumors of the brain, cranial nerves and cranial meninges (both benign and malignant) diagnosed among residents of Los Angeles County from 1972 to 1985. Incidence rates of gliomas, meningiomas, nerve sheath...

... and who were followed for cancer incidence until the end of 1982. During the period of follow-up, 31 tumors were diagnosed in the cohort (21 gliomas, 10 meningiomas). Increased risk for glioma was associated with rural residence, history of a positive tuberculosis skin test and consumption of pork...

...Susan Preston-Martin; Brian E. Henderson; Mimi C. Yu This report includes new descriptive findings from a study of 10 years of meningioma incidence data for a geographically defined population of over 7 million people and a review and reanalysis of findings from case-control studies of 2 groups...
