脑瘤是儿童中最常见的实体肿瘤，导致显著的癌症相关死亡率。一些与脑肿瘤相关的遗传综合征是非家族性的。电离辐射是公认的脑肿瘤危险因素。已经评估了几种工业暴露与脑肿瘤形成的因果关系，但结果尚无定论。常见的诱变剂与烟草、酒精或饮食因素之间的偶然联系尚未确定。没有明确的证据表明脑肿瘤的发病率会随着时间的推移而改变。本文介绍了儿童和成人最常见脑肿瘤的描述性流行病学。
Brain tumors are the commonest solid tumor in children, leading to significant cancer-related mortality. Several hereditary syndromes associated with brain tumors are nonfamilial. Ionizing radiation is a well-recognized risk factor for brain tumors. Several industrial exposures have been evaluated for a causal association with brain tumor formation but the results are inconclusive. A casual association between the common mutagens of tobacco, alcohol, or dietary factors has not yet been established. There is no clear evidence that the incidence of brain tumors has changed over time. This article presents the descriptive epidemiology of the commonest brain tumors of children and adults.
