A member asked:
How common are brain tumors in a 23yo female.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not common: the twenty three year old woman is beyond the pediatric stage but there are some tumors that are more common in younger women. These include a form of medulloblastoma that seems to have a better prognosis in this age group. The type of tumor is very important as it relates to outcome. Glioblastoma, luckily is rare in this age group and has a worse prognosis.
