Adult glioma incidence trends in the United States, 1977–2000

Several authors have reported an increase in the incidence of brain tumors, especially among the elderly. A more complete understanding of adult glioma incidence trends might provide indications of risk factors for gliomas and contribute to the search for improved therapies.
