title: Retrospective epidemiologic analysis of patients diagnosed with intracranial meningioma from 1977 to 1990 at the Jackson Memorial Hospital, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center: the Jackson Memorial Hospital Tumor Registry experience.
abstract: A descriptive analysis was performed of the Tumor Registry data for intracranial meningioma by the Jackson Memorial Hospital, University of Miami School of Medicine Tumor Registry. A total of 108 cases of intracranial meningioma was collected and reviewed. Overall survival for 2, 5, and 10 years was 82, 72, and 60%, respectively. There was no difference in survival for males and females at 5 years, nor any difference in survival for race or ethnicity. There was a trend for improved survival for the young age group (18-55 years).
