Brain, other CNS and intracranial tumours mortality statistics
Brain, other CNS and intracranial tumours mortality by gender and UK country
| Brain, other CNS and intracranial tumours is the 10th most common cause of cancer death in the UK, with around 5,500 deaths every year. Mortality rates are higher in males, making it the 11th most common cause of cancer death in this demographic. |
Brain, other CNS and intracranial tumours mortality by age
| Mortality rates for brain, other CNS and intracranial tumours in the UK are highest in people aged 85 to 89, with around 7.7% of all brain, other CNS and intracranial tumours deaths occurring in this age group (2021-2023). |
| Brain, other CNS and intracranial tumours mortality rates have remained stable in the UK since the early 2000s, and rates have remained stable in the last decade (2017-2019). |
Brain, other CNS and intracranial tumours mortality projections
| Brain, other CNS and intracranial tumours mortality rates in the UK are projected to decrease by 1% between 2024-2026 and 2038-2040, with around 6,600 deaths each year by 2038-2040. |
There is no evidence for an association between brain, other CNS and intracranial tumour mortality and deprivation for either males or females in England.[1] England-wide data for 2007-2011 show European age-standardised mortality rates are similar for both males and females living in the most deprived areas compared with the least deprived.[1]

he estimated deprivation gradient in brain, other CNS and intracranial tumour mortality between people living in the most and least deprived areas in England has not changed in the period 2002-2011.[1]

About this data
Data is for: UK, 2007-2011, ICD-10 C70-C72,C751-3,D32-D33,D352-4,D42-D43,D443-5
Deprivation gradient statistics were calculated using mortality data for 2007-2011. The deprivation quintiles were calculated using the Income domain scores from the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) from the following years: 2004, 2007 and 2010. Full details on the data and methodology can be found in the Cancer by Deprivation in England NCIN report.
