Thanks to the material provided, I learned that brain tumors account for 85% to 90% of all primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. In the United States, in 2024, it is estimated that there will be 25,400 new cases and 18,760 deaths from brain tumors and other nervous system tumors. The most frequent primary brain tumors, in decreasing order of frequency, are anaplastic astrocytoma's and glioblastomas, followed by meningiomas and other mesenchymal tumors and pituitary tumors. The provided anatomy image was also beneficial for visualizing the information. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
