Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

Incidence

  • The incidence of oligoastrocytoma is approximately 0.03 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[3]

Age

  • Oligodendroglioma is a disease that tends to affect the middle-aged adult population.[4]
  • Oligodendroglioma most commonly occurs in the 4th and 5th decade of life.
  • The median age at diagnosis is 47 years.[5]

Gender

  • Males are more commonly affected with oligoastrocytoma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.43 to 1.[6]

Race

  • Oligoastrocytoma usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race. African American, Latin American, and Asian individuals are less likely to develop oligoastrocytoma.[7]
