Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- Oligoastrocytoma accounts for 1% of all brain tumors and 5%–10% of all glial neoplasms.[1]
Incidence
- The incidence of oligodendroglioma and anaplastic oligodendroglioma is estimated to be 0.32 and 0.17 cases per 100,000 individuals in the United States, respectively.[2]
Age
- Oligodendroglioma is a disease that tends to affect the middle-aged adult population.[3]
- Oligodendroglioma most commonly occurs in the 4th and 5th decade of life.
- The median age at diagnosis is 47 years.[4]
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected with oligodendroglioma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.[5]
Race
- Oligodendroglioma usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race. African American, Latin American, and Asian individuals are less likely to develop oligodendroglioma.[6]
