CBTRUS serves as a resource for gathering and disseminating current epidemiological data on all primary brain tumors. CBTRUS data are available to assist in research projects that intend to describe incidence and survival patterns of brain tumor cases, to evaluate diagnosis and treatment, and to conduct etiologic studies.

The CBTRUS incidence database consists of epidemiologic data on all brain tumors, malignant and non-malignant, consolidated from sixteen population-based cancer registries. These data include cases newly diagnosed between 1998 and 2002 with ICDO codes C70.0-C70.9, C71.0-C71.9, C72.0-C72.9, C75.1- C75.3, and C30.0 (9522-9523). In addition, CBTRUS will assist in accessing mortality, survival and treatment information using other databases.
