Epidemiology and Survival of Patients With Brainstem Gliomas: A Population-Based Study Using the SEER Database

Abstract

Brainstem gliomas can be diagnosed at any age. Ependymoma/anaplastic ependymoma is the most common pathological diagnosis. The prognosis is poor, and timely diagnosis and surgery are effective at improving the prognosis. We suggest that more attention should be given to the treatment of patients with brainstem gliomas.
