Global survival trends for brain tumours, by histology: analysis of individual records for 67,776 children diagnosed in 61 countries during 2000-2014 (CONCORD-3).

To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the largest account to date of global trends in population-based survival for brain tumours in children, by histology. We devised an enhanced version of ICCC-3 to account for differences in cancer registration practices world-wide. Our findings may have public health implications, because low-grade glioma is one of the six index childhood cancers included by WHO in the Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer.
