Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- Oligodendroglioma is the third most common glioma.[1]
- Oligodendroglioma accounts for 2%–5% of primary brain tumors and 5%–18% of all glial neoplasms.
Incidence
- The incidence of oligodendroglioma and anaplastic oligodendroglioma during 2000-2004 was estimated to be 0.32 and 0.17 cases per 100,000 individuals in the United States, respectively.[2]
Age
- Oligodendroglioma is a rare disease that tends to affect the middle-aged adult population.
- Oligodendroglioma most commonly occurs in the 4th and 5th decade of life.
