title: Epidemiology of brain tumors.
abstract: Primary brain tumor incidence and survival patterns are emerging, assisted by progress in molecular classification. Evidence is accumulating to suggest that infectious diseases may affect the risk of developing a brain tumor, although data require clarification. Other promising research directions include evaluating the role of diet and allergic conditions in reducing brain tumor risk.
