-==Overview==
+{{SK}} Oligoastrocytomas; mixed glioma; mixed gliomas; OA; OAC; anaplastic oligoastrocytoma; glioma; brain tumor
-Oligoastrocytomas are a subset of [[brain tumor]] that present with an appearance of mixed glial cell origin, [[astrocytoma]] and [[oligodendroglioma]].
+==[[Oligoastrocytoma overview|Overview]]==
-==Pathophysiology==
+==[[Oligoastrocytoma historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-Oligoastrocytomas, like [[astrocytomas]] and oligodendrogliomas, can have malignant ([[anaplastic]]) histology. However, lower grades can have less aggressive biology.
+==[[Oligoastrocytoma classification|Classification]]==
-==Epidemiology and Demographics==
+==[[Oligoastrocytoma pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
-Often called a "mixed glioma", about 2.3% of all reported brain tumors are diagnosed as oligoastrocytoma. The median age of diagnosis is 42 years of age.
+==[[Oligoastrocytoma causes|Causes]]==
-==Natural History, Complications and Prognosis==
+==[[Oligoastrocytoma differential diagnosis|Differentiating Oligoastrocytoma from other Diseases]]==
-Even after surgery, an oligoastrocytoma will often recur. The treatment for a recurring brain tumor may include surgical resection, chemo and radiation therapy. Survival time of this brain tumor varies - younger age and low-grade initial diagnosis are factors in improved survival time.
+==[[Oligoastrocytoma epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
-==Symptoms==
+==[[Oligoastrocytoma risk factors|Risk Factors]]==
-There are many possible symptoms of oligodendrogliomas that are similar to other [[glioma]]s. These symptoms may include [[headache]], [[seizure]] and speech or motor changes.
+==[[Oligoastrocytoma screening|Screening]]==
+==[[Oligoastrocytoma natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==
 ==Diagnosis==

-A [[Computed Tomography]] (CT) or [[Magnetic Resonance Imaging]] (MRI) scan is necessary to characterize the anatomy of this tumor (size, location, heter/homogeneity). However, final diagnosis of this [[tumor]], like most tumors, relies on [[histopathologic]] examination ([[biopsy]] examination).
+==Treatment==
+[[Oligoastrocytoma medical therapy|Medical Therapy]] | [[Oligoastrocytoma surgery|Surgery]] | [[Oligoastrocytoma primary prevention|Primary Prevention]] | [[Oligoastrocytoma secondary prevention|Secondary Prevention]] | [[Oligoastrocytoma cost-effectiveness of therapy|Cost-Effectiveness of Therapy]] | [[Oligoastrocytoma future or investigational therapies|Future or Investigational Therapies]]
-==Treatment==
+==Case Studies==
+[[Oligoastrocytoma case study one|Case#1]]
-If resected, the surgeon will remove as much of this tumor as possible, without disturbing eloquent regions of the brain (speech/motor cortex) and other critical brain structure. Thereafter, treatment may include [[chemotherapy]] and [[radiation therapy]] of doses and types ranging based upon the patient's needs. Subsequent MRI examination are often necessary to monitor the resection cavity.
