MC intracranial tumors: Brain Metastases (just over 50%).
Incidence of primary brain tumors: approximately 20-30 per 100,000 in adults and 5 per 100,000 in children.
About one third of primary brain tumors in adults are malignant, whereas they account for two thirds in childhood.
Frequency of WHO subgroups and specific tumors is given (information not provided in the text).
