Dr. Vidyanand Pandit
Abstract :
BACKGROUND:Tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) constitute approximately 2% of all malignancies. Although relatively rare, the associated morbidity and mortality and the significant proportion of affected young and middle–aged individuals has a major beå on the death–adjusted life years compared to other malignancies. The incidence of central nervous system (CNS) tumors in India ranges from 5 to 10 per 100,000 population with an increasing trend and accounts for 2% of malignancies.
AIM:The present retrospective study analyses the histological spectrum of ain tumors in tertiary care hospitals in GWALIOR (M.P) INDIA.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data regarding frequencies of various ain tumors (diagnosed according to the world health organization (WHO) classification), in 652 patients was collected.
RESULTS:The most common primary ain tumors were astrocytic tumors (35.6 %), followed by meningioma (17%).Posterior fossa is the most common site for the pediatrics and adolescence (age < 20 yrs) intracranial tumors. Medulloblastoma incidence is highest among them.
CONCLUSIONS:There are very less studies done on the histological spectrum of ain tumors in India.the histological profile of ain tumors in India is similar to that reported in the various studies of Indian and worlds literature.
