Is it me or is it true that more and more people are being diagnosed with brain tumors at a rather early age these days?

Personally, I think people are being diagnosed with brain tumors at an early stage these days.

President Carter certainly wasn’t young when he was diagnosed (and, admittedly his health care isn’t standard), but he was cured in an amazingly short amount of time.

On the one hand you have the enormous cost of healthcare and the over use of medical testing, on the other hand you have people surviving formerly fatal diseases because of early diagnosis.

Various studies have shown that the nuclear fallout from the bombs and tests of the late 1940’s is still affecting the entire world. (See Baby Tooth Survey).

I don’t know about age, but it does seem like I hear of more people having brain tumors in recent years.
