BackgroundThe Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS) is a unique professional research organization that focuses exclusively on providing quality statistical data on population-based primary brain and CNS incident tumors in the United States. CBTRUS was incorporated as a nonprofit 501 (c) 3 with a founding and sustaining grant from the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation in 1992 following a two-year study conducted by the American Brain Tumor Association to determine the feasibility of a central registry for all primary brain and CNS tumor cases in the United States. Until that time, standard data reporting in the United States had been limited to malignant cases only.
