STORYLINE vs. REST-OF-THE-STORY: 

Brain cancer incidence, cellular telephone use, together with trends data

Hardell together with Carlberg (2015) reported that encephalon tumor rates bring been increasing inwards Sweden based upon the Swedish National Inpatient Registry data.  Hardell together with Carlberg (2017) reported that encephalon tumors of unknown type increased from 2007-2015, peculiarly inwards the historic menses grouping 20-39 years of age. According to the authors, "This may live explained past times higher peril for encephalon tumor inwards subjects alongside outset utilization of a wireless telephone before the historic menses of 20 years taking a reasonable latency period." 

What nearly encephalon tumor rates inwards the United States?

The incidence of glioma, the most mutual malignant encephalon tumor, has been increasing inwards recent years inwards the United States, although non across-the-board. The National Cancer Institute reported that glioma incidence inwards the frontal lobe increased amidst immature adults 20-29 years of historic menses (Inskip et al., 2010). 

The incidence of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), which accounts for nearly one-half of all gliomas, increased in the frontal together with temporal lobes, together with inwards the cerebellum among adults inwards the U.S. from 1992-2006 (Zada et al., 2012). 

The Cancer Prevention Institute of California (2016)  in their annual study nearly cancer incidence inwards the greater San Francisco Bay Area noted that the incidence of GBM increased from 1988-2013 among non-Hispanic white manly soul (0.7% per year) together with woman soul adults (1.1% per year) together with remained stable amidst other race/ethnic groups.

Using national tumor registry data, a recent study found that the overall incidence of meningioma, the most mutual non-malignant encephalon tumor, has increased inwards the USA inwards recent years (Dolecek et al., 2015). The age-adjusted incidence charge per unit of measurement for meningioma increased from nearly 6.3 per 100,000 inwards 2004 to nearly 7.8 per 100,000 inwards 2009. Brain tumor incidence increased for all historic menses groups except youth (0-19 years of age).

Risk of glioma from cell telephone together with cordless telephone use

Three independent, case-control studies bring found that long-term utilization of prison theater Galvanic cell phones increases peril for glioma (Interphone Study Group, 2010; Hardell et al, 2013; Coureau et al, 2014). The alone enquiry to examine cordless telephone utilization too found increased glioma peril alongside long-term utilization (Hardell et al, 2013). These studies include information from xiii nations: Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden together with the UK. After 10 years of wireless telephone utilization (i.e., prison theater Galvanic cell telephone plus cordless telephone use), the peril of glioma doubles together with later 25 years, the peril triples (Hardell et al, 2013).

Although the U.S. does non deport enquiry on wireless telephone utilization together with tumor peril inwards humans together with does non participate inwards the international studies, at that topographic point is no argue to believe that Americans are immune to these potential effects of wireless telephone use.

In sum, the peer-reviewed enquiry on encephalon tumor peril together with wireless telephone utilization strongly suggests that nosotros should practice precaution together with proceed prison theater Galvanic cell phones together with cordless phones away from our heads. Moreover, the enquiry calls into inquiry the adequacy of national  together with international guidelines that bound the amount of microwave radiations emitted past times prison theater Galvanic cell phones together with cordless phones.

Risk of meningioma from prison theater Galvanic cell telephone together with cordless telephone use

A study by Carlberg together with Hardell (2015) adds to the growing trunk of show that heavy utilization of wireless phones (i.e., prison theater Galvanic cell phones together with cordless phones) is associated alongside increased peril of meningioma inwards Sweden. Heavy cordless telephone users (defined equally to a greater extent than than 1,436 hours of lifetime use) had a 1.7-fold greater peril of meningioma (OR = 1.7; 95% CI = 1.3-2.2). The heaviest cordless telephone users (defined equally to a greater extent than than 3,358 hours of lifetime use) had a two-fold greater peril of meningioma (OR = 2.0; 95% CI = 1.4 - 2.8). The heaviest prison theater Galvanic cell telephone users had a 1.5-fold greater peril of meningioma (OR = 1.5, 95% CI = 0.99 - 2.1). 

Two before case-control studies conducted inwards other nations bring found meaning show of increased peril for meningioma amidst heavy prison theater Galvanic cell telephone users:

(1) In France, Coureau et al. (2014) found a 2 together with a half-fold greater peril of meningioma for heavy prison theater Galvanic cell telephone users (defined equally 896 or to a greater extent than hours of lifetime use) (OR = 2.57; 95% CI = 1.02 to 6.44).

Chien LN, Gittleman H, Ostrom QT, Hung KS, Sloan AE, Hsieh YC, Kruchko C, Rogers LR, Wang YF, Chiou HY, Barnholtz-Sloan JS. Comparative Brain together with Central Nervous System Tumor Incidence together with Survival betwixt the USA together with Taiwan Based on Population-Based Registry. Front Public Health. 2016 Jul 21;4:151.

Abstract

PURPOSE: Reasons for worldwide variability inwards the burden of primary malignant encephalon together with key nervous organisation (CNS) tumors stay unclear. This study compares the incidence together with survival of malignant encephalon together with CNS tumors past times selected histologic types betwixt the USA (US) together with Taiwan.

METHODS: Data from 2002 to 2010 were selected from 2 population-based cancer registries for primary malignant encephalon together with CNS tumors: theCentral Brain Tumor Registry of the USA together with the Taiwan Cancer Registry. Two registries had similar physical care for of collecting patients alongside malignant encephalon tumor, together with the character of 2 registries was comparative. The age-adjusted incidence charge per unit of measurement (IR), IR ratio, together with survival past times histological types, age, together with sex were used to study regional differences.

RESULTS: The overall age-adjusted IRs were 5.91 per 100,000 inwards the US together with 2.68 per 100,000 inwards Taiwan. The most mutual histologic type for both countries was glioblastoma (GBM) alongside a 12.9% higher proportion inwards the US than inwards Taiwan. GBM had the lowest survival charge per unit of measurement of whatever histology inwards both countries (US 1-year survival rate = 37.5%; Taiwan 1-year survival rate = 50.3%). The 2nd largest grouping was astrocytoma, excluding GBM together with anaplastic astrocytoma, alongside the distribution existence slightly higher inwards Taiwan than inwards the US.

CONCLUSION: Our findings revealed differences past times histological type together with flat of primary malignant encephalon together with CNS tumors betwixt 2 sites.

Excerpts

Between 2002 together with 2010, at that topographic point were 183,740 newly diagnosed cases of malignant encephalon together with CNS tumors inwards the US together with 5,855 inwards Taiwan.

The most mutual histologic grouping for both countries was GBM; 47.8% of all tumors inwards the US together with 34.9% of all tumors inwards Taiwan (Figure 3).

The IR of GBM was 2.9 times inwards the US (2.48 per 100,000) equally compared alongside Taiwan (0.85 per 100,000). The 2nd highest histologic grouping was astrocytoma (excluding GBM together with AA) inwards both the US (0.95 per 100,000) together with Taiwan (0.44 per 100,000).

In the US, the IRs past times primary site were highest for tumors located inwards the frontal lobe (1.34 per 100,000), followed past times tumors located inwards all other sites inside the brain, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, together with the other parts of encephalon together with CNS. In Taiwan, the IRs were highest for tumors located inwards all other parts of the encephalon (0.70 per 100,000), followed past times tumors located inwards the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, together with cerebrum.

In this study, the lower age-adjusted IRs of malignant encephalon together with CNS tumors inwards Taiwan was less probable due to differences inwards imaging diagnostic techniques equally the standards for imaging for encephalon together with CNS tumors was the same inwards both countries.

The incidence of the most mutual non-malignant tumors (e.g., meningioma, pituitary) has increased inwards recent years amidst adolescents together with immature adults (AYA) inwards the U.S; however, some of this increment may live due to ameliorate reporting over time.

“Collection of information on non-malignant encephalon together with CNS tumors began inwards 2004, later the passage of the Benign Brain Tumor Act inwards 2002. Previous analyses bring suggested that increased incidence inwards the fourth dimension menses betwixt 2004 together with 2006 may live the final result of the initiation of this collection rather than a ‘true’ increment inwards incidence.”

• "Incidence of oligodendroglioma (APC = 22.9) together with anaplastic oligodendroglioma (APC = 24.1) inwards AYA has significantly decreased from 2004-2012. 
• Incidence of tumors of the meninges inwards AYA has significantly increased from 2004-2012 (APC = 2.5), which is largely driven past times the increment of meningioma incidence during that fourth dimension (APC = 2.6).  
• Incidence of lymphomas together with hematopoietic neoplasms has significantly decreased from 2004-2012 (APC = 22.8) inwards AYA. 
• Incidence of tumors of the sellar part inwards AYA has significantly increased from 2004-2008 (APC = 8.5), which is largely driven past times the increment of tumors of the pituitary incidence from 2004-2009 (APC = 7.6).
• Incidence of unclassified tumors inwards AYA has significantly increased from 2004-2012 (APC = 5.5), which is largely driven past times the increment of hemangioma incidence from 2004-2010 (APC = 18.8)."

Malignant Brain Tumors Most Common Cause of Cancer Deaths inwards Adolescents & Young Adults

Press Release, American Brain Tumor Association, February 24, 2016

A novel study published inwards the mag Neuro-Oncology together with funded past times the American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA) finds that malignant encephalon tumors are the most mutual travail of cancer-related deaths inwards adolescents together with immature adults aged 15-39 together with the most mutual cancer occurring amidst 15-19 twelvemonth olds.

The 50-page report, which utilized information from the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the USA (CBTRUS) from 2008-2012, is the outset in-depth statistical analysis of encephalon together with key nervous organisation (CNS) tumors inwards adolescents together with immature adults (AYA). Statistics are provided on tumor type, tumor place together with historic menses grouping (15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34 together with 35-39) for both malignant together with non-malignant encephalon together with CNS tumors.

"When analyzing information inwards 5-year historic menses increments, researchers discovered that the adolescent together with immature adult population is non 1 grouping but rather several distinct groups that are impacted past times real unlike tumor types equally they motility into adulthood," said Elizabeth Wilson, president together with CEO of the American Brain Tumor Association.

"For these individuals -- who are finishing school, pursuing their careers together with starting together with raising immature families -- a encephalon tumor diagnosis is peculiarly savage together with disruptive," added Wilson. "This study enables us for the outset fourth dimension to zero-in on the types of tumors occurring at key intervals over a 25-year fourth dimension bridge to assist guide critical enquiry investments together with strategies for living alongside a encephalon tumor that reverberate the patient's unique needs."

Although encephalon together with CNS tumors are the most mutual type of cancer amidst people aged 15-19, the study shows how other cancers acquire to a greater extent than mutual alongside age. By ages 34-39 years, encephalon together with CNS tumors are the tertiary most mutual cancer later pectus together with thyroid cancer.

"What's interesting is the broad variability inwards the types of encephalon tumors diagnosed inside this historic menses grouping which paints a much unlike moving painting than what nosotros meet inwards adults or inwards pediatric patients," explained the study's senior writer Jill Barnholtz-Sloan, Ph.D., associate professor, Case Comprehensive Cancer Center, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine together with Scientific Principal Investigator for CBTRUS.

"For example, the most mutual tumor types observed inwards adults are meningiomas together with glioblastomas, but at that topographic point is much to a greater extent than diverseness inwards the mutual tumor types observed inwards the adolescent together with immature adult population. You too clearly meet a transition from predominantly non-malignant together with low-grade tumors to predominantly high-grade tumors alongside increasing age," Barnholtz-Sloan said.

There are nearly 700,000 people inwards the U.S. living alongside encephalon together with CNS tumors together with roughly xv percent of these tumors occurred inwards the AYA population during the 2008-2012 fourth dimension frame analyzed inwards this report. Approximately 10,617 encephalon together with CNS tumors are diagnosed amidst adolescents together with immature adults each twelvemonth together with are the travail of roughly 434 deaths annually.

"The American Brain Tumor Association's recognition of this understudied population, together with their commitment to information together with information sharing should live applauded," added Barnholtz-Sloan. "There are clearly unique characteristics of the 15-39 historic menses grouping that nosotros demand to to a greater extent than comprehensively sympathise together with the information inwards the ABTA study starts that of import dialogue."

Adolescent & Young Adult (AYA) Incidence (Ages 15-39 Years)
The incidence charge per unit of measurement of AYA primary malignant together with non-malignant encephalon together with CNS tumors is 10.47 cases per 100,000 for a total count of 53,083 incident tumors.1 The charge per unit of measurement is higher for non-malignant tumors (6.17 per 100,000) than malignant tumors (3.26 per 100,000).

An estimated 10,390 novel cases of AYA primary malignant together with non-malignant encephalon together with CNS tumors are expected to live diagnosed inwards the US inwards 2016.

Mortality
The average annual mortality charge per unit of measurement inwards the US betwixt 2008 together with 2012 was 4.31 per 100,000 alongside 71,831 deaths attributed to primary malignant encephalon together with CNS tumors.

An estimated 16,616 deaths volition live attributed to primary malignant encephalon together with CNS tumors inwards the US inwards 2016.

Lifetime Risk
From birth, a soul inwards the US has a 0.62% adventure of always existence diagnosed alongside a primary malignant brain/CNS tumor (excluding lymphomas, leukemias, tumors of pituitary together with pineal glands, together with olfactory tumors of the nasal cavity) together with a 0.46% adventure of dying from the primary malignant brain/CNS tumor.

For males inwards the US, the peril of developing a primary malignant brain/CNS tumor is 0.69%, together with the peril of dying from a primary malignant brain/CNS tumor (excluding lymphomas, leukemias, tumors of pituitary together with pineal glands, together with olfactory tumors of the nasal cavity) is 0.51%.

For females inwards the US, the peril of developing a primary malignant brain/CNS tumor is 0.55%, together with the peril of dying from a primary malignant brain/CNS tumor (excluding lymphomas, leukemias, tumors of pituitary together with pineal glands, together with olfactory tumors of the nasal cavity) is 0.41%.

Brain Tumors inwards Children together with Adolescents

According to a recent study, there has been a meaning increment inwards the incidence of primary malignant encephalon together with key nervous organisation (CNS) tumors inwards American children (0-14 years of age) betwixt 2000-2010, alongside an annual percent alter (APC) of 0.6%. In adolescents (15-19 years old), at that topographic point was a meaning increment inwards the incidence of primary malignant encephalon together with CNS tumors betwixt 2000-2008, alongside an APC of 1.0%. Adolescents too experienced an increment inwards non-malignant encephalon together with CNS tumors from 2004-2010, alongside an APC of 3.9%.

The four-nation CEFALO case-control study found a 36% increased peril of encephalon tumors amidst children together with adolescents 7-19 years of historic menses who used mobile phones at to the lowest degree 1 time a calendar week for half dozen months. Since this peril gauge was non statistically meaning (OR = 1.36; 95% CI = 0.92 to 2.02), the authors dismissed this overall finding. However, inwards a subsample of 556 youth for whom prison theater Galvanic cell telephone fellowship records were available, at that topographic point was a  significant association betwixt the fourth dimension since outset mobile telephone subscription together with encephalon tumor risk. Children who used cellphones for 2.8 or to a greater extent than years were twice equally probable to bring a encephalon tumor than those who never regularly used cellphones (OR = 2.15, 95% CI = 1.07 to 4.29).

Trends inwards Incidence of Non-Malignant Head together with Neck Tumors inwards the U.S.

The likelihood of developing a non-malignant encephalon tumor has increased inwards recent years inwards the U.S. According to newly-released information from the Centers for Disease Control together with Prevention (CDC), the overall age-adjusted incidence (per 100,000 persons) of non-malignant encephalon tumors significantly increased from 2004 through 2012. The increment was observed amidst children 0-19 years of historic menses (1.7 inwards 2004; 2.3 inwards 2012) together with amidst adults 20 years together with older (15.9 inwards 2004; 19.7 inwards 2012).

Almost 200 people per twenty-four threescore minutes menses inwards the U.S. were diagnosed alongside encephalon tumors inwards 2012 including 67,612 adults together with 4,615 children. Among adults, 70% of these tumors were nonmalignant, together with amidst children, 42% were nonmalignant.

The overall incidence of malignant tumors inwards the U.S. has been stable for children (3.4 inwards 2004; 3.3 inwards 2012) together with has slightly decreased for adults (9.1 inwards 2004; 8.4 inwards 2012). However, lags inwards reporting to tumor registries are mutual inwards the U.S. then official statistics may underestimate the actual incidence of tumors for to a greater extent than recent years (see August 5, 2015 post below). 

A peer-reviewed study reported a meaning Increase over fourth dimension inwards the incidence of specific types of malignant encephalon tumors amidst adults inwards the U.S. (see May 7, 2015 post below).

The age-adjusted incidence of the most mutual non-malignant tumor, meningioma, significantly increased amidst adults from 2004 through 2012 (8.7 inwards 2004; 10.6 inwards 2012). 

A recent study reported a meaning increment inwards meningioma incidence for the menses 2004 through 2009 (Doleceket al., 2015). Several case-control studies bring found a meaning association betwixt peril of meningioma together with wireless telephone utilization (see May 7, 2015 post below).

The age-adjusted incidence of pituitary gland tumors significantly increased amidst children (0.4 inwards 2004; 0.6 inwards 2012) together with amidst adults (3.4 inwards 2004; 4.7 inwards 2012). 

A prospective study of 790,000 women inwards the United Kingdom of Great Britain together with Northern Ireland reported that the peril pituitary gland tumors was to a greater extent than than twice equally high amidst women who used a prison theater Galvanic cell telephone for less than v years equally compared to never users (Bensonet al., 2013).

The web-based report, United States Cancer Statistics: 1999-2012 Incidence together with Mortality Web-based Report (USCS) is available at www.cdc.gov/uscs. Although the study includes cancer cases diagnosed (incidence) from 1999 through 2012, encephalon tumor incidence information are available alone since 2004. In 2012, cancer incidence information came from key cancer registries inwards 49 states, 6 metropolitan areas, together with the District of Columbia, roofing 99% of the U.S. population.

The Interactive Cancer Atlas (InCA), alongside exportable data, shows how rates differ past times dry soil together with alter over time. InCA is available at https://nccd.cdc.gov/DCPC_INCA/.

Limitations of Cancer Registries

Cancer registries are developed to collect information on malignant tumors together with oft do non collect information on non-malignant (sometimes called benign) tumors. Since nearly one-half of primary encephalon tumors are non-malignant, these tumors are may non live monitored past times populace wellness surveillance systems (e.g., Canada).

The U.S has a Central Brain Tumor Registry (CBTRUS): "a resources for gathering together with disseminating electrical current epidemiologic information on all primary encephalon tumors, benign together with malignant, for the purposes of accurately describing their incidence together with survival patterns, evaluating diagnosis together with treatment, facilitating etiologic studies, establishing awareness of the disease, together with ultimately, for the prevention of all encephalon tumors." However, "CBTRUS makes no representations or warranties, together with gives no other assurances or guarantees, limited or implied, alongside honour to the accuracy or completeness of the information presented." 

There is a skillful argue for the disclaimer on the CBTRUS dwelling solid page. Tumor registries are useful inwards monitoring affliction incidence alone to the extent that all procedures are good implemented. Registries are highly dependent upon reporting agencies (e.g., hospitals) to do an accurate together with consummate labor inwards reporting tumors to the registry.

Registry information typically endure from various problems: 

"Users must live aware of various issues that influence collection together with interpretation of cancer registry data, such equally multiple cancer diagnoses, duplicate reports, reporting delays, misclassification of race/ethnicity, together with pitfalls inwards estimations of cancer incidence rates." (Izqierdo, JN, Schoenbach, VJ. The potential together with limitations of information from population-based dry soil cancer registries. Am J Public Health. 2000;90:695-698. URL: http://1.usa.gov/1IHO8FM)

Delays inwards reporting together with belatedly ascertainment are a reality together with a known number influencing registry completeness and, consequently, charge per unit of measurement underestimations occur, peculiarly for the most recent years.²² CBTRUS too recognizes that the employment may live fifty-fifty to a greater extent than probable to withdraw house inwards the reporting of non-malignant encephalon together with CNS tumors, where reporting oft comes from non-hospital based sources together with mandated collection is relatively recent (2004). Ostrom et al. (2014). URL: http://1.usa.gov/1PTmpaD).
