Evaluation of racial disparities in pediatric optic pathway glioma incidence: Results from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program, 2000-2014

Incidence of OPGs was highest among White children. This study represents one of the largest to assess differences in OPG susceptibility by race/ethnicity. These findings may inform future studies that seek to evaluate modifying factors for this pediatric tumor including tumorigenesis, treatment, outcome, and long-term late effects.
