primary brain and CNS tumors in the United States.This report represents a dramatic increase in population coverage (approximately 97% from the initial CBTRUS Reports).The central cancer registries receive populationbased, standardized data from all healthcare data sources primarily through certified tumor registrars.Along with the UDS, there are quality control checks and a system for rating each central registry to further insure that these data are reported as accurately and completely as possible.These individuals and organizations provide the high quality data that are the foundation of the CBTRUS statistical reports and scientific activities.This statistical report continues the past efforts that CBTRUS has made to provide population-based incidence rates for all primary brain and CNS tumors by histology, age, gender, race, and Hispanic ethnicity.As in previous reports, these data have been organized by clinically relevant histological groupings that are useful for surveillance.The information is important for allocation and planning of specialty health -care services, in the planning of disease prevention and control programs, and in research activities.These data may lead to clues that will stimulate research into the causes of this terrible disease.In 2012, the CBTRUS staff in collaboration with three neuropathologists, Drs.
