EVALUATION OF PEDIATRIC INTRACRANIAL NEOPLASM IN TABRIZ IRAN

摘要: Tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), occur relatively frequently during early years life. They are most common solid tumors childhood and second only to leukemia in overall cancer incidence account for a high proportion deaths. In different studied performed several countries, astrocytomas other gilomas (combined) half CNS malignancies, followed by PNET/MB, ependymomas, then craniopharyngioma. We have undertaken perspective study with 349 brain tumor patients, ranging from 0-14 age, throughout five- year period (1998-2003). Who were admitted Tabriz children hospital or diagnosed Hafez imaging center, radiological evaluation CT. Craniopharyngioma was type among patients our Series, medulloblastoma third type. The Male/Female total according results is 1.56 it similar previous studies. About this less than 1 (0.88, 0.7), but series seems be more (about 1.4). Age- related distribution under age 14 that some extent. Also, since causes risk factors cancers remain largely undetermined, we could not reach significant relationship between residency patients. Hope make useful future studies field, differences obtained series, can help us management treatment strategies population.
