Epidemics science


Cases of brain cancers figures show a big difference between developing countries and developed (LDCs have fewer cases of brain tumors), countries - and this can be interpreted that the deaths caused by undiagnosed tumor (patients in cases of extreme poverty do not get diagnosed, simply because they can not access to modern diagnostic facilities necessary for the diagnosis of a brain tumor) and deaths from other causes linked to poverty, which precede the onset of tumors. However, studies suggest that certain forms of primary brain tumors are more prevalent among certain groups of the population. Studies have shown occurrence of tumors of the central nervous system in the United States, Israel, and Scandinavia is relatively high, while Japan and Asian countries have lower rates. These differences may reflect some biological differences as well as differences in the diagnosis of patients and reporting. Data worldwide Ballasabh related to cancer can be found in the (WHO) World Health Organization and handled by the (IARC International Agency for Research on Cancer), located in France

United States of America

For the United States in 2005, it was expected that there will be 43,800 new cases of brain tumors, which accounted for less than 1 percent of all cancers, and 2.4 percent of all cancer deaths, and 20-25 percent of cancers children. , Estimates indicate that there are 13,000 deaths annually in the United States alone as a result of brain tumors UK tumors of the brain, the central nervous system or other tumors inside the skull is the ninth most common in the United Kingdom cancers (was diagnosed about 9,400 people in 2011), this is the eighth most common causes of cancer deaths (about 5,200 people died in 2012).
