CBTRUS Fact Sheet 2024

The objective of the CBTRUS Statistical Report: Primary Brain and Other Central Nervous System Tumors Diagnosed in the United States in 2017-2021 is to provide a comprehensive summary of the current descriptive epidemiology of all primary brain and other central nervous system (CNS) tumors in the US population. Primary brain and other CNS tumors include those tumors that originate from the tissues of the brain or other CNS sites. The Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS) obtained the latest available population-based data on all newly diagnosed primary brain and other CNS tumors reported from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), and the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program for diagnosis years 2017-2021.
