AB  - An  estimated  87,000  people  will  be  diagnosed  with  a  primary  brain  tumor  annually  in  the  United  States.  At  least  25,000  of  these  tumors  are  malignant,  and  most  of  these  are  gliomas.  Meningiomas  account  for  35%,  vestibular  schwannomas  10%,  and  central  nervous  system  (CNS)  lymphomas  ~2%.  Brain  metastases  are  three  times  more  common  than  all  primary  brain  tumors  combined  and  are  diagnosed  in  ~150,000  people  each  year.  Metastases  to  the  leptomeninges  and  epidural  space  of  the  spinal  cord  each  occur  in  ~3–5%  of  patients  with  systemic  cancer  and  are  also  a  major  cause  of  neurologic  disability.
