Overview

If left untreated, patients with oligodendroglioma may progress to develop seizures, focal neurological deficits, hydrocephalus, brain herniation, intracranial hemorrhage, and ultimately death.Common complications associated with oligodendroglioma include hydrocephalus, intracranial hemorrhage, coma, bone marrow metastasis, recurrence, venous thromboembolism, parkinsonism, and side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.Depending on the extent and grade of the tumor at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis of oligodendroglioma may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as good. The median survival time for oligodendroglioma is 11.6 years for grade II and 3.5 years for grade III.

Natural history

  • Oligodendrogliomas tend to be low grade and less aggressive than other types of gliomas. These tumors are slow growing. The tumors may be present for many years before they are diagnosed.[1]
  • Anaplastic oligodendroglioma usually grows quickly. These tumors may develop in one place or in many places throughout the brain.
  • If left untreated, patients with oligodendroglioma may progress to develop seizures, focal neurological deficits, hydrocephalus, brain herniation, intracranial hemorrhage, and ultimately death.[2]
  • Recurrence is a very common feature of oligodendrogliomas. It can be either of the same grade or higher grade at the primary site.[3]
  • Transformation into glioblastoma (grade 4) may occur a few years later, which may be associated with gain of chromosome 7 and loss of chromosome 10.[3]

Complications

Common complications associated with oligodendroglioma include:[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Prognosis

  • Depending on the extent and grade of the tumor at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis of oligodendroglioma may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as good.[11]
  • Oligodendrogliomas are slowly growing tumors with prolonged survival. The median survival time for oligodendroglioma is 11.6 years for grade II and 3.5 years for grade III.
  • The presence of 1p19q codeletion is associated with a better prognosis abd greater chemosensitivity.[4][12]
  • Several other molecular markers have a potential clinical significance as IDH1 mutations, confirming the strong prognostic role for overall survival.
  • The presence of EGFR gene mutation is associated with a worse prognosis.[13]
  • The 5-year survival rates for oligodendroglioma and anaplastic oligodendroglioma varying with ages are tabulated below:[14]
WHO grade of tumor Age 5-year survival rate
Oligodendroglioma (Grade II) 20-44 82%
45-54 67%
55-64 48%
Anaplastic oligodendroglioma (Grade III) 20-44 64%
45-54 50%
55-64 23%
