Abstract

2Introduction: The pineal gland is a small, pinecone-shaped endocrine gland that participates in the biological rhythm regulation of vertebrates. Tumors of the pineal Region account for approximately 3–11% of pediatric brain neoplasms. The present study aimed to determine the demographic and clinical characteristics of Patients with Tumors in the pineal Region. Methods: This research was a cross-sectional descriptive study that was conducted in 2023. 20 people with pineal tumor were identified who had referred to the hospitals of Isfahan city, Iran (Al-Zahra, Kashani and Imam Hossein) during the last 8 years. Data were collected by checklist and described and analyzed in SPSS version 22 software. Results: Ten of Patients were males and The mean age of the Patients at the time of surgery was 19. 25 years (range: 16. 0 to 66. 0 years). Histologically, GCT and PPT comprised 45 % and 25% of pineal Region neoplasms. The median tumor size was 24 mm. The rates of radiotherapy administration were 60%. older age, and lack of radiotherapy use were prognostic factors that negatively influence survival. The lowest survival rate was observed in the first year, but as the number of years of life increased, so did the survival rate. Conclusion: Given that Patients with Tumors in the pineal Region are predominantly in the young age group, and young individuals represent the productive workforce in any society, it is imperative to implement appropriate measures and strategies to enhance these Patients' long-term well-being. Implementing these measures and strategies will ultimately improve the overall quality of life for these Patients over the years.
