Increase of Brain Tumors in New York State
Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer CenterThe "not so good news" from a recent study conducted at Roswell Park Cancer Institute is that the incidence rates for two forms of common brain tumors - glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and anaplastic astrocytoma - have increased in New York State between 1976 and 1995. The ìgood newsî is that the study may have revealed clues to the origins of GBM; the most common of these tumors. (Journal of Neurosurgery, 12-00)
