This paper compares the incidence and survival times of brain tumor patients within the VA system compared to the entire USA. For younger patients, aged 18-49, the survival rates were the same inside and outside the VA, but those aged 50-69 did worse in the VA. For 70+, the survival was only 4 months for both VA patients as well as USA patients. This shows that we really need better treatments. The Musella Foundation was mentioned as one of the funders!
