Abstract

There has been a dramatic increase in the diagnosis of primary lymphoma of the brain during the past decade, prompting speculation that it may become the most frequently diagnosed tumor of the central nervous system by the year 2000. The current analysis drew from the updated Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to establish projections for the incidence of brain lymphoma. The study also attempted to determine whether increased incidence rates are attributable to the increasing incidence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and whether there is gender or age dependence. Primary brain lymphoma case data and population census data for calculating incidence rates for the period 1973-1992 were obtained from the SEER program. In an attempt to determine the contribution of AIDS to the increasing incidence of the disease, separate analyses were performed with and without the inclusion of never married men (a high risk group for the development of AIDS). Separate analyses were also performed within the San Francisco SEER registry because a higher incidence of AIDS-related cancers has been documented in this geographic region. Finally, a piece-wise linear model (using one regression line until 1982 and ano...Continue Reading
