Trends in the Incidence of Brain Cancer: An Observational Study
Our study found that the crude rate of brain cancer from 1999-2020 was 6.6 per 100,000, with the highest incidence in the 65-74 age group, among males, and within the white population. The overall trend showed an increase in brain cancer incidence, peaking in 2019, particularly among younger age groups, with stable or declining rates in older adults and non-white races.
