The brain cancer survival rate indicates the percentage of people with a certain type and stage of brain cancer who survive the disease for a specific period of time after their diagnosis. In most cases, statistics refer to the 5-year brain cancer survival rate. The 5-year brain cancer survival rate is the percentage of people who are alive 5 years after a brain cancer diagnosis, whether they have few or no signs or symptoms of brain cancer, are free of disease, or are having treatment for brain cancer. The brain cancer survival rate is based on large groups of people, and it cannot be used to predict what will happen to a particular patient. No two patients are alike, and brain cancer treatment and responses to treatment vary greatly.http://cancer.emedtv.com/brain-cancer/brain-cancer-survival.html

The Commission on Cancer collects this information. I found a link (below) that you can try. You'll need to choose your state, gender, race and cancer type (brain is an option). It will break down how many people were diagnosis with this.
PET scans are used most often to find tumors and cancer. They're also used to look at brain activity and also used in heart disease diagnosis.
Brain cancer was first recognized in the early 19th century through postmortem examinations of patients who had neurological symptoms. As medical knowledge grew, advances in imaging technologies such as MRI and CT scans helped in the early detection and diagnosis of brain tumors. This led to further understanding of the different types of brain cancer and development of treatment options.
A definite diagnosis of prostate cancer, however, requires a tissue biopsy.
Brain cancer, particularly tumors located in the regions of the brain that control vision and coordination, can cause symptoms such as headaches and blurred vision. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
