3 INTRODUCTION 6/17/2016 3

4 Introduction Gliomas are the most common primary malignant brain tumors in adults They can occur anywhere in the central nervous system but primarily occur in the brain and arise in the glial tissue High grade gliomas include: Anaplastic Astrocytoma Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma Anaplastic Oligoastrocytoma Glioblastoma 6/17/2016 4

5 INCIDENCE 6/17/2016 5

6 Incidence Incidence rates of glioma vary significantly by histologic type, age at diagnosis, gender, race, and country. Overall age-adjusted incidence rates for all gliomas range from 4.67 to 5.73 per100,000 persons. Age-adjusted incidence of glioblastoma ranges from 0.59 to 3.69 per 100,000 persons. Lee CH, et al. J Korean Neurosurg, 2010 Larjavaara S, et al. Neuro-oncol, 2007 Gousias K, et al. Neuroepidemiology, /17/2016 6

7 Incidence The incidence of anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma increases with age, peaking in the age group. In general, gliomas are more common in men than women. In the United States, gliomas are more common in non- Hispanic whites than in blacks. Ostrom QT, et al. Neuro-oncol, 2013 Larjavaara S, et al. Neuro-oncol, 2007 Gigineishvili D, et al. J Neurooncol, 2013 Dubrow R, et al. BMC Cancer, /17/2016 7

8 Incidence Varies between countries: Norway Australia Saudi Arabia 14 : 100,000 population. 5.2 : 100,000 population. 1.7 : 100,000 population. Many analytic studies concluded that the incidence rate of glioma overall and glioma subtypes to be fairly stable over the time periods assessed. Saudi Cancer Registry, 2011 Deltour I, et al. Epidemiology, 2012 Little MP, et al. BMJ, /17/2016 8

9 Incidence (USA) Pathology Rate/100,000 Glioblastoma 3.19 Anaplastic Astrocytoma 0.37 Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma 0.11 Ostrom et al. CBTRUS, Neuro-oncol /17/2016 9

10 RISK FACTORS 6/17/

11 Epidemiologic Risk Factors Allergy: Decreased risk with history of allergies or atopic diseases by nearly 40%. Drug Use: Antihistamine use showed inconsistent relation with high grade glioma Short term (< 10 years) use of anti-inflammatory medications is associated with a protective effect against GBM??? Linos E, et al. J Natl Cancer Inst, 2007 McCarthy BJ, et al. Can Epid Biom Prev, 2011 Scheurer ME, et al. Int. J. Can, /17/

12 Epidemiologic Risk Factors Ionizing Radiation: Atomic Radiation Therapeutic Radiation Diagnostic Radiation Clear association with high grade glioma for atomic and therapeutic radiation. Inconsistent results for diagnostic radiation and brain tumors Preston DL, et al. Radiat Res., 2007 Sadetzki S, et al. Radiat Res., 2005 Davis F, et al. Radiat Res /17/

13 Epidemiologic Risk Factors Nonionizing Radiation: 1. Cellular Phones No clear association. Latency period might not be enough Deserves continued monitoring 2. Low Frequency Magnetic Fields Possible relation Mixed data Frei P, et al. BMJ, 2011 Hardell L, et al. Int J Oncol.2013 Baan R, et al. Lancet Oncol, /17/

14 Epidemiologic Risk Factors Occupational Chemicals Pesticides Solvents No clear association Pukkala E, et al. Acta Oncol Samanic CM, et al. Am J Epidemiol Ruder AM, et al. Occup Environ Med /17/

16 SAUDI CANCER REGISTRY 6/17/

17 Saudi Cancer Registry Saudi Cancer Registry (SCR) reports the annual incidence of cancer. Established in 1992 under the authority of Ministry of Health. It was moved to the Saudi Health Council in It commenced reporting cancer cases from Jan Last report was published this year for 2011 cancer incidence 6/17/

18 Saudi Cancer Registry It has representative from: Ministry of Health Ministry of Defense and Aviation Ministry of Interior Ministry of National Guard King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center, and King Saud University 6/17/

19 Saudi Cancer Registry Main office located in the Saudi Health Council. There are five regional offices: Central Region: King Fahad Medical City Eastern Region: King Fahad University Hospital Western Region: King Abdulaziz Hospital Southern Region: Asir Central Hospital Northern Region: Maternity and Children Hospital Five other offices related to Oncology Establishments: KFSH&RC, AFH, SFH, NGH, & KKUH 6/17/
