Çocukluk Çağı Beyin Tümörleri

Beyin tümörleri çocukluk çağında görülen en sık solid tümör tipidir ve bu yaş grubundaki çocuklarda görülen kanserlerin %20'sini oluşturur 1 . Onbeş yaş altında görülen malign hastalıklar içinde lösemilerden sonra ikinci sırayı alır. Ülkemizde ise lösemi ve lenfomalardan sonra 3. sıklıktadır. Günümüzde cerrahi, kemoterapi ve radyoterapideki gelişmelere bağlı olarak tüm beyin tümörlü çocuklarda 5 yıllık yaşam hızı ortalama %50-60 civarında verilmiştir. Ancak histopatolojik tipe göre yaşam oranları değişiklik göstermektedir 2 .
