Overview
Oligoastrocytoma is the third most common glioma.[1] Oligoastrocytoma accounts for 1% of all brain tumors and 5–10% of all glial neoplasms.[2] The incidence of oligoastrocytoma is approximately 0.03 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[3] Oligoastrocytoma is a disease that tends to affect the young and middle-aged adult population.[2] The median age of diagnosis is 42 years.[4] Males are more commonly affected with oligoastrocytoma than females.[5] Oligoastrocytoma usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race.[6] The incidence rate of oligoastrocytoma is higher in developed countries than in developing countries.[7]
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]
Demography
- The incidence rate of oligoastrocytoma is higher in developed countries than in developing countries.[7]
