Different studies have pointed out Navarre as one of the regions of Spain with the highest incidence
rates of brain and other central nervous system (CNS) cancer. Trend analysis for cancer
incidence rates for long periods of time, might help determining risk factors as well as, assessing
prevention actions involved in this disease. The objective of this study was to describe the incidence
of brain and CNS cancer using data from the population-based cancer registry of Navarre,
(Spain) during the period 1973-2008 and provide forecast figures up to-2014. Crude and
age-standardized (world population) incidence rates of brain cancer per 100,000 person-years
were calculated by the direct method separately by gender, area (Pamplona and others), and
age-groups. Penalized splines for smoothing rates in the temporal dimensions were applied in
order to estimate and forecast cancer incidence rates. Age-adjusted incidence rates showed an
increase over the study and forecast periods in both sexes more marked in women than in men.
Higher incidence rates were observed in men compared with women but the differences became
smaller with time. The increase was due to the rise of rates in the oldest age groups since the rates
for younger age groups remained stable or decreased over time. As the entire aetiology of brain
and other CNS cancer is not still clear, keep promoting healthful lifestyles for cancer primary
prevention among the whole population is necessary. [--]
