Description
Ladina Greuter and co-authors published a research paper in 2026 on how often low-grade brain tumors occur in Swiss children and how well the children survive. These slow tumors are the most common brain tumors of childhood, and most children live long, though many carry lasting deficits from the tumor or its treatment. The team used the national childhood cancer registry.
They counted 591 cases diagnosed from 1990 to 2019 in children up to seventeen. Most cases appeared between ages two and eleven, split near evenly between the upper and lower brain. Over four in five were the mildest grade. Survival was tracked by age, tumor type, and treatment group.
