متن کاملMedulloblastoma incidence has not changed over time: A CBTRUS study.
9058 Background: Past studies of medulloblastoma (MB) present conflicting claims about declines and rises in MB incidence, possibly due to misclassification. By using a strict classification of the disease and a rigorous analysis of a data registry, we aimed to determine the incidence trends of MB over the last three decades. METHODS 441 MB patients diagnosed between 1985 and 2002 were identi...
