Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- Oligoastrocytoma is the third most common glioma.[1]
- Oligoastrocytoma accounts for 1% of all brain tumors and 5–10% of all glial neoplasms.[2]
Incidence
- The incidence of oligoastrocytoma is approximately 0.03 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[3]
Age
- Oligoastrocytoma is a disease that tends to affect the young and middle-aged adult population.[2]
- Oligoastrocytoma most commonly occurs in between 30-50 years of age.
- The median age of diagnosis is 42 years.[4]
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected with oligoastrocytoma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.43 to 1.[5]
Race
- Oligoastrocytoma usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race. African American, Latin American, and Asian individuals are less likely to develop oligoastrocytoma.[6]
Geography/Demography
- The incidence rates of oligoastrocytoma are higher in developed countries than developing countries.[7]
