Epidemiological registry study reveals stabilizing overall meningioma incidence alongside rising rates among younger demographics, highlighting evolving diagnostic practices and risk factors.

Key Points

To evaluate national trends in intracranial meningioma incidence across demographic groups and tumor characteristics from 2004 to 2015.
Extracted incident cases from the National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-18 (SEER-18) registry database.
Calculated annual percent change (APC) using joinpoint regression models stratified by age, sex, race, and WHO tumor grade.
Overall meningioma incidence grew by 4.6% annually (95% CI, 3.4%–5.9%) between 2004 and 2009, but stabilized from 2009 to 2015 (APC, 0.0%; 95% CI, −0.8% to 0.8%).
Incidence was highest among females (10.66 per 100,000 person-years) and Black individuals (9.52 per 100,000 person-years), with continuous increases across 2004–2015 in individuals <20 years (APC = 3.6%), 20–39 years (APC = 2.5%), and 40–59 years (APC = 1.8%).
WHO grade II meningioma incidence increased from 2011 to 2015 (APC = 5.4%), whereas WHO grade III meningioma incidence dropped from 2004 to 2015 (APC = −5.6%).
