The worldwide incidence age-standardized rates (ASR) of brain and nervous system cancer in high/very-high HDI (Human Development Index) regions versus low/medium HDI regions was 5.0 and 2.4 for men and 4.0 and 1.7 for women (Saudi Arabia is classified as very-high HDI according to the United Nations Development Program 4-tier system), respectively. Medulloblastomas were the most commonly reported histology type in the pediatric age group followed by low5 Journal of Cancer Epidemiology grade gliomas with a predominance of pilocytic astrocytoma. This study contains the largest institution-based ICD-O and WHO-classified epidemiological analysis of malignant and nonmalignant primary brain tumors in Saudi Arabia in adult and pediatric groups. With regard to a single tumor entity, meningioma was the most common primary brain tumor in adults while in the pediatric age group, medulloblastoma was the leading histology.	./cache/cord-266441-sd117tzs.txt	./txt/cord-266441-sd117tzs.txt
