They represent about 1% of all cancers and 2.5% of all cancer deaths
Most adult brain cancers are not primary tumors, but are the result of primary cancer that has spread from other areas of the body
Stereotactic radiosurgery is a non-invasive procedure that delivers precisely targeted radiation therapy to treat tumors and other abnormalities in the brain and body. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and trigeminal neuralgia.

Most childhood cancers arise from the cells that are actively growing and dividing during development, often in the blood, brain, or nervous system. Common types include leukemia, brain tumors, and neuroblastoma. Unlike many adult cancers, childhood cancers are less commonly linked to lifestyle factors and more often result from genetic mutations or abnormalities that occur early in life. The exact causes of these cancers are still largely unknown, but research continues to explore potential genetic and environmental influences.
Each year, 8.2 of every 100,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with primary malignant brain tumors. They represent approximately 2% of all cancers diagnosed in the United States. Currently, 29.5 of every 100,000 people in the U.S. have primary malignant brain tumors (just diagnosed or under treatment).
Each year, more than 17,000 brain tumors are diagnosed in the United States
The most common primary brain tumors include gliomas such as astrocytomas, ependymomas, and oligodendrogliomas
They represent more than 20% of all primary brain tumors
Most childhood cancers fall under one among several specific types. Common adult cancers (lung, breast, brain, and others) rarely occur in children.
