Question
I would like to know the percentage distribution of astrocytomas (Grade I,II),Anaplastic astrocytoma (Grade III) and Glioblastoma (GRADE IV) in brain cancer patients in the nordic countries like Sweden, Finland and Norway?

Answer
Sorry, I'm retired after a stroke 6.5 years ago and do not have that material available. However if you contact the cultural attachés of the nearest Swedish, Finnish & Norwegian (& Danish & Icelandic?) embassies that information can most probably be made available to you!
