Resumen
JARAMILLO-JIMENEZ, Esteban et al. Clinico-pathological characteristics of central nervous system tumors in a South American center from 2010 to 2015. CES Med. [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.2, pp.103-113. Epub 01-Mar-2021. ISSN 0120-8705. https://doi.org/10.21615/cesmedicina.34.2.2.
Objective:
The aim of this study was to characterize patients with a diagno- sis of a central nervous system (CNS) tumors at the Instituto Neurologico de Colombia during the period between 2010 to 2015.
Methods:
A retrospective descriptive study was conducted. The Classification of the World Health Organization was used for CNS primary tumors whereas the International Classification of Diseases for oncology (ICD-O) was used for CNS metastatic tumors.
Results:
288 patients were identified, 194 of them with primary tumors of CNS and 94 with metastatic tu- mors from systemic cancer. It was not possible to classify primary tumors in 23.7% of the cases and regarding the metastatic tumors it was not possible to obtain the classification in 35.1 % of the cases. Men presented more frequently tumors of ma- lignant behavior such as glioblastoma NOS (not otherwise specified) (14.9 %) while in women benign behavior tumors such as meningioma predominated (23.2 %). For population older than 65 years old, both glioblastoma NOS and meningioma were more frequent in women with 17.4 % and 28.3 %, respectively. In patients with CNS metastatic tumors, according to the topographic classification, the most frequent primary tumors were lung (39.4 %), followed by breast (17 %). Its origin was not iden- tified in 11.7 % of the cases. The most identified histology was adenocarcinoma (14.9 %), followed by carcinoma (8.5 %).
Conclusion:
For disease surveillance, it is necessary to complete epidemiological and clinical monitoring of primary and metastatic tumors of the CNS by using institutional cancer registries including topographic, histological and molecular data according to availability.
