AGUIRRE-CRUZ, Lucinda et al. Descriptive epidemiology and frequency variations of astrocytic tumors in the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery of Mexico. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2020, vol.62, n.3, pp.255-261. Epub 16-Maio-2022. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/10680.
Objective:
To determine distribution, localization and frequency variations of astrocytic tumors (AT) in a Mexican Institute of neurology.
Materials and methods:
Institutional registries of AT from five decades were analyzed. AT/Surgical discharges (SD) and AT/Central Nervous System Tumors (CNST) from 1995 to 2014 were compared.
Results:
Two thousand two hundred and eighty-seven AT (1 356 men and 931 women) were analyzed. The most common glioma was glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), found in young adults with a higher frequency to that reported in other studies. Relation of AT/SD, as well as, relation of AT/CNST was similar between 1995 and 2014.
Conclusions:
In general, the frequency of AT attended at the Institute is similar to that found worldwide, being only higher the number of GBM in younger adults. There was not significant variation in the frequency of AT during the time studied.
