✦ Synopsis

This study included 11,111 cases with confirnied primary brain tumors reported by 679 different hospitals in the United States in 1980 and in 1985. The combinations of symptoms and signs in relation to the site of the brain tumors, supratentorial vs infratentorial, were studied. Only one symptom was present in 32.9% and 26.7% of cases with supratentorial and infratentorial tumors. No neurologic sign was detected at the time of diagnosis in 20% and 14.6% of cases with supratentorial and infratentorial tumors, respectively. Considering the clinical stage at diagnosis, no neurologic sign was detected in 21.4% of patients presenting in stages I and 11; compared with 11.5% in those presenting in late clinical stages (111 & IV). The study confirmed the importance of meticulous history taking for early referral for diagnosis of brain tumors.

We examined the geographic pattern of nasopharyngeal cancer (NP cancer) mortality in the United States using economic sub-regions (ESRs) as the basis for analysis. The distribution of 15,145 deaths from NP cancer over the years 1950-1979 revealed clustering in the 119 ESRs that was not detected in a
