Summary:
This review describes the epidemiological evidence on glioma including the incidence of the disease and possible risk factors. Glioblastoma, the most common type of glioma has an age-adjusted incidence rate in Australia of 3.4 annual cases per 100,000 people. Exposure to high levels of ionising radiation has been shown to increase the risk of glioma. The authors mention that the potential influence of mobile phone use has also been examined with inconclusive results.
