Abstract:

Background: The most common malignant tumor among central nervous system (CNS) tumors is glioblastoma which has the highest mortality rate. On the other hand, meningioma is known as the most common benign tumor. This work aimed to describe the clinico-epidemiological and pathological pattern of all CNS tumors and to evaluate treatment output (Survival details).
Methods: This retrospective study was carried out on 340 patients with CNS tumors. The treatment options depend on several factors, including the type and location of the tumor, how far it has grown or spread and a person's age and overall health [Surgery (craniotomy), radiotherapy, chemoradiotherapy and chemotherapy. 
Results: The estimated median overall survival of CNS tumors patients was 36 months, also 5-year OS was reported in 48.5% of these patients. Age, pathology and grade that affect progression free survival of CNS tumors which were significantly different (p<0.001). Also, the comorbidities (HTN, diabetes mellitus) were significantly affecting progression free survival (p<0.05). Estimated median disease-free survival (DFS) of CNS tumors patients which was 22 months, and 20.4% of these patients had 5-year DFS. HTN, pathology and grade that affect DFS of CNS tumors patients which were statistically significant (p<0.001). 
Conclusion: Glioblastoma is the most common pathological type followed by atypical meningioma and diffuse astrocytoma. Frontal lobe is the most common site followed by temporal, tempro-parietal lobes.
