Descriptive Epidemiology of Cerebral Gliomas in Northwest Greece and Study of Potential Predisposing Factors, 2005–2007

Abstract

The estimated IR of glioma and GBM in this study was higher compared with data from other studies carried out on European, Asian and US populations. Further studies may be needed to assess the possible association of genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors with the high occurrence of gliomas observed in this study.
