GARCIA-ESPINOSA, Patricio G. et al. High-grade primary tumors of the central nervous system: Clinical and epidemiological analysis of the experience of a center. Gac. mex. oncol. [online]. 2022, vol.21, n.2, pp.47-53. Epub 20-Jun-2022. ISSN 2565-005X. https://doi.org/10.24875/j.gamo.22000208.
Background:
Epidemiological data on the clinical presentation of high-grade primary tumors, the most common histological variables and prevalence, and sociodemographic variables were addressed from January 2016 to December 2020.
Method:
The sample was calculated from the primary tumors provided by the statistics department, determined the ICD-10 (C-71), finding 105.
Results:
114 cases of high-grade primary tumors, most of them men; glioblastoma was the most common variant, followed by medulloblastoma. The frontal lobe was the most common location, consultation times lasted between 3-6 months, the most common clinical symptom was headache; the most common reason for consultation were seizures.
Conclusion:
The paradigm shift in the treatment of primary brain tumors from a molecular profile, and not precisely histological, will be the next step to take. These tumors are of great epidemiological importance and an opportunity to carry out preventive medicine and health promotion campaigns.
