Overview of Brain Tumor Epidemiology
and Histopathology
Herbert B. Newton and Abhik Ray-Chaudhury
ABSTRACT: Primary brain tumors (PBT) comprise
a diverse group of neoplasms that are often malignant
and refractory to treatment. Between 30 000 and
35 000 new PBT are diagnosed each year in the USA
(approximately 14 per 100 000). Tumors of neuroe-
pithelial origin are the largest histological class of PBT
and include the glioma sub-group (e.g., glioblastoma
multiforme, anaplastic astrocytoma, oligodendroglio-
ma), which represent the most frequently diagnosed
tumors in adults. Other important tumors in adults
include meningiomas, primary brain lymphoma, and
oligoastrocytoma. Commonly diagnosed tumors in
children include medulloblastoma, cerebellar astro-
cytoma, and optic pathway glioma. This chapter will
review the microscopic and molecular pathology of
PBT that are most likely to require treatment with
chemotherapy, utilizing the classification system of
the World Health Organization.
EPIDEMIOLOGY OF BRAIN TUMORS
Brain tumors remain a significant health problem
in the USA and worldwide. Overall, they comprise
some of the most malignant tumors known to affect
humans and are generally refractory to all modalities
of treatment. It is estimated that between 30 000
and 35 000 new cases of primary brain tumors (PBT)
will be diagnosed in the upcoming year in the USA
(1–2 per cent of newly diagnosed cancers overall)
[1–6]. Metastatic brain tumors (MBT) are even more
common and affect between 100 000 and 150 000 new
patients each year in this country [7]. Most studies
suggest that approximately 14 per 100 000 people in
the USA will be diagnosed with a PBT each year.
Among this cohort with newly diagnosed tumors, 6 to
8 per 100 000 will have a high-grade neoplasm. Recent
epidemiological studies suggest an increasing inci-
dence rate for development of PBT in children less
than 14 years of age and in patients 70 years or older
[8]. For people in the 15- to 44-year-old age group,
the overall incidence rates have remained fairly
stable. The cause of the increased incidence of PBT
in some age groups remains unclear, but may be due
to improvements in diagnostic neuro-imaging such as
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), greater availabil-
ity of neurosurgeons, improved patterns of access to
medical care for children and elderly patients, and
more aggressive approaches to health care for elderly
patients [5,8].
The prognosis and survival of patients with brain
tumors remains poor [1–7]. Although an uncommon
neoplasm, PBT are among the top 10 causes of cancer-
related deaths in the USA and account for 2.4 per cent
of all yearly cancer-related deaths [9]. The median
survival for a patient with glioblastoma multiforme
(GBM) is approximately 12–14 months, and has not
improved substantially over the past 30 years. For
patients with a low-grade astrocytoma or oligoden-
droglioma, the median survival is still significantly
curtailed and is about 6–10 years. For PBT patients in
the USA as a whole, across all age groups and tumor
types, the 5-year survival rate is 20 per cent [3]. If a
patient with a PBT survives for an initial 2 years,
the probability of surviving another 3 years is
76.2 per cent. In general, for any given tumor type,
survival is better for younger patients than for older
patients. The only exception to this generalization

is for children with medulloblastoma and embryonal
tumors, in which patients under three years of age
have poorer survival rates than children between 3
and 14 years of age [10]. The 5-year survival rate for
all children less than 14 years of age with a malignant
PBT is 72 per cent.
The median age for diagnosis of PBT is between 54
and 58 years [1–6]. Among different histological
varieties of PBT, there is significant variability in the
age of onset. A small secondary peak is also present in
the pediatric age group, in children between the ages
of 4 and 9. Overall, PBT are more common in males
than females, with the exception of meningiomas,
which are almost twice as common in females.
Tumors of the sellar region, and of the cranial and
spinal nerves, are almost equally represented among
males and females. In the USA, gliomas are more
commonly diagnosed in Whites than Blacks, while the
incidence of meningiomas is relatively equal between
the two groups.
Numerous epidemiological studies have been
performed in an attempt to define risk factors
involved in the development of brain tumors (see
Table 1.1) [2–6]. The vast majority of these potential
risk factors have not been associated with any
TABLE 1.1 Risk Factors that have been Investigated in
Epidemiological Studies of Primary Brain Tumors
Hereditary syndromes (proven): tuberous sclerosis, neurofibro-
matosis types 1 and 2, nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome,
Turcot’s syndrome, and Li-Fraumeni syndrome
Family History of brain tumors
Constitutive polymorphisms: glutathione transferases, cytochrome
P-450 2D6 and 1A1, N-acetyltransferase, and other carcinogen
metabolizing, DNA repair, and immune function genes
History of prior cancer
Exposure to infectious agents
Allergies (possible reduced risk)
Head trauma
Drugs and medications
Dietary history: N-nitroso compounds, oxidants, antioxidants
Tobacco usage
Alcohol consumption
Ionizing radiation exposure (proven)
Occupational and industrial chemical exposures: pesticides, vinyl
chloride, synthetic rubber manufacturing, petroleum refining
and production, agricultural workers, lubricating oils, organic
solvents, formaldehyde, acrylonitrile, phenols, polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons
Cellular telephones
Power frequency electromagnetic field exposure

significant predisposition to brain tumors. One risk
factor that has proven to be important is the
presence of a hereditary syndrome with a genetic
predisposition for developing tumors, some of which
can affect the nervous system [4,5,11]. Several heredi-
tary syndromes are associated with PBT, including
tuberous sclerosis, neurofibromatosis types 1 and 2,
nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, Li-Fraumeni
syndrome, and Turcot’s syndrome. However, it is
estimated that hereditary genetic predisposition may
be involved in only 2–8 per cent of all cases of PBT.
Familial aggregation of brain tumors has also been
studied, with conflicting results [5,11]. The relative
risk for developing a tumor among family members of
a patient with a PBT are quite variable and range from
1 to 10. One study that performed a segregation
analysis of families of more than 600 adult glioma
patients showed that a polygenic model most accu-
rately explained the inheritance pattern [12]. A similar
analysis of 2141 first-degree relatives of 297 glioma
families did not reject a multifactorial model, but
concluded that an autosomal recessive model fit the
inheritance pattern more accurately [13]. Critics of
these studies suggest that the common exposure of a
family to a similar pattern of environmental agents
could lead to a similar clustering of tumors. Other
investigators have focused on genetic polymorphisms
that might influence genetic and environmental
factors to increase the risk for a brain tumor [4,5].
Alterations in genes involved in oxidative metabo-
lism, detoxification of carcinogens, DNA stability and
repair, and immune responses might confer a genetic
predisposition to tumors. For example, Elexpuru-
Camiruaga and colleagues demonstrated that cyto-
chrome P-4502D6 and glutathione transferase theta
were associated with an increased risk for brain
tumors [14]. Other studies have not supported these
results, but have found an increased risk for rapid
N-acetyltransferase acetylation and intermediate
acetylation [15]. In general, further studies with
larger cohorts of patients will be necessary to deter-
mine if genetic polymorphisms of key metabolic
enzyme systems play a significant role in the risk for
developing a brain tumor.
Cranial exposure to therapeutic ionizing radiation
is a potent risk factor for subsequent development of a
brain tumor, and is known to occur after a wide
range of exposures [1–6]. Application of low doses of
irradiation (1000 to 2000 cGy), such as for children
with tinea capitis or skin hemangiomas, have been
associated with relative risks of 18 for nerve sheath
tumors, 10 for meningiomas, and 3 for gliomas [5,16].
Gliomas and other PBT are also known to occur
after radiotherapy for diseases such as leukemia,
