Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- Oligodendroglioma is the third most common glioma worldwide.[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]
