Impact of war on central nervous system tumours

The incidence dynamics of CNS tumours showed a rapidly progressive increase over the 1991-1995 period.followed by the return to average values. The access to a better and more readily available diagnostic may only partially explain this phenomenon. Therefore we analysed other factors that may have contributed towards the rapid increase in the number of CNS tumours, such as its coincidence with the war of psychotrauma. The results confirm the observational clinical hypothesis of an extreme increase in the number of CNS tumours during the period under consideration
