CBTRUS Statistical Report:
Primary Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors Diagnosed in the United States in 2015-2019
This report was prepared by the CBTRUS Scientific Co-Scientific Principal Investigators Quinn Ostrom, Ph.D., M.P.H. and her research team from Duke University, Department of Neuro-Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine in collaboration with Co-Scientific Principal Investigator Jill Barnholtz-Sloan, Ph.D., the research staff affiliated with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Division of Epidemiology and Genetics, and CBTRUS President and Chief Mission Officer Carol Kruchko, collectively known as the CBTRUS Scientific Team.
The CBTRUS data presented in this report were provided through an agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR). In addition, CBTRUS used data from the research data sets of the NCI, Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program. CBTRUS acknowledges and appreciates these contributions to this report and to cancer surveillance in general and in particular to the efforts of the hospital tumor registrars, the central cancer registries, and the staff from the NPCR and SEER programs whose efforts to collect accurate and complete data have made this report possible.
We are also grateful to our Consulting Neuropathologist, Dr. Janet Bruner who answered our questions and provided feedback throughout the year, to our Board of Directors and Advisors, and especially Melissa Bondy, Ph.D., Elizabeth Claus, M.D., Ph.D., Nancy Stroup, Ph.D., and to Claudia Smits, LLM, Reda J. Wilson, M.P.H., CTR, and Mary Elizabeth O’Neil, M.P.H., who reviewed this report.
