Epidemiology of brain tumors.
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.
