List of brain tumor patients



  This article provides a list of notable people who had a primary or metastatic brain tumor at some point in their lives, as confirmed by public information. Tumor type and survival duration are listed where the information is known. Blank spaces in these columns appear where precise information has not been released to the public. Medicine does not designate most long term survivors as cured.

To put survival periods in context, a Norwegian hospital reviewed 1,218 patient records from 1960–1994 and reported median survival times for several tumor types over this 35 year period as listed in the table below.[1]

According to the United States National Cancer Institute, an estimated 18,500 new cases and 12,760 deaths occurred nationwide in 2005. These high overall mortality rates are due to the prevalence of aggressive types such as glioblastoma multiforme. Nearly 14% of new brain tumor diagnoses occur in persons under 20 years of age.[2]

Tumor type Median survival
Glioblastoma multiforme 12 months (1.0 years)
Anaplastic astrocytoma 25 months (2.1 years)
Astrocytoma (low grade) 95 months (7.9 years)
Oligodendroglioma 74 months (6.2 years)
Mixed glioma 65 months (5.4 years)
Medulloblastoma 109 months (9.1 years)
Brain stem tumors 9 months (0.8 years)
Pineal region tumors 60 months (5.0 years)
