Exploratory analysis of the spatial distribution of adult glioma age-adjusted county incidence rates, Nebraska Medicine, 2009-2019.

Many counties in the state were excluded from analysis of this rare cancer due to the small number of cases leading to unstable rates and the need to suppress data to protect patient privacy. However, this preliminary study suggests that glioma incidence is highest in central and eastern Nebraska. Next steps include analysis of state cancer registry data to ensure more complete case ascertainment.
