If left untreated, patients with oligoastrocytoma may progress to develop [[seizures]], focal neurological deficits, [[hydrocephalus]], [[brain herniation]], [[intracranial hemorrhage]], and ultimately death. | If left untreated, patients with oligoastrocytoma may progress to develop [[seizures]], focal neurological deficits, [[hydrocephalus]], [[brain herniation]], [[intracranial hemorrhage]], and ultimately death. Oligoastrocytomas are slow growing tumors. Common complications associated with oligoastrocytoma include [[hydrocephalus]], [[intracranial hemorrhage]], [[coma]], [[metastasis]], [[venous thromboembolism]], and side effects of [[chemotherapy]] and [[radiation]]. Depending on the extent and grade of the tumor at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis of oligoastrocytoma may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as good. The prognosis of low-grade oligoastrocytoma is more favorable than that for anaplastic oligoastrocytoma because of the more indolent course and younger age at which most patients are diagnosed. The 1, 5, and 10-year survival rates of patients with oligoastrocytoma are approximately 87%, 56.97%, and 45.80%, respectively. | ||

Overview
If left untreated, patients with oligoastrocytoma may progress to develop seizures, focal neurological deficits, hydrocephalus, brain herniation, intracranial hemorrhage, and ultimately death. Oligoastrocytomas are slow growing tumors. Common complications associated with oligoastrocytoma include hydrocephalus, intracranial hemorrhage, coma, metastasis, venous thromboembolism, and side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. Depending on the extent and grade of the tumor at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis of oligoastrocytoma may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as good. The prognosis of low-grade oligoastrocytoma is more favorable than that for anaplastic oligoastrocytoma because of the more indolent course and younger age at which most patients are diagnosed. The 1, 5, and 10-year survival rates of patients with oligoastrocytoma are approximately 87%, 56.97%, and 45.80%, respectively.
Natural history
- Oligoastrocytomas are slow growing tumors.[1] The tumors may be present for many years before they are diagnosed.[2]
- If left untreated, patients with oligoastrocytoma may progress to develop seizures, focal neurological deficits, hydrocephalus, brain herniation, intracranial hemorrhage, and ultimately death.[3][4][5]
- The mixed gliomas with a 1p/19q loss would behave in an indolent or chemo-responsive fashion as expected of an oligodendroglioma, whereas those without this profile act biologically like astrocytic tumors, i.e. more aggressively and more prone to high grade transformation.[6]
Complications
Common complications associated with oligoastrocytoma include:[4][7][8][3][9][5]
- Hydrocephalus
- Intracranial hemorrhage
- Coma
- Metastasis
- Recurrence
- Venous thromboembolism
- Side effects of chemotherapy
- Side effects of radiotherapy
Prognosis
- Depending on the extent and grade of the tumor at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis of oligoastrocytoma may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as good.[10]
- The prognosis of oligoastrocytoma is more favorable than that of anaplastic oligoastrocytoma because of the more indolent course and younger age at which most patients are diagnosed.[4]
- The 1, 5, and 10-year survival rates of patients with oligoastrocytoma are approximately 87%, 56.97%, and 45.80%, respectively.[11]
- Favorable prognostic factors for oligoastrocytoma include:[12][13][7][14][15][3]
- Presence of 1p19q codeletion
- Age at presentation < 40 years
- Lower grade of tumor
- Absence of tumor necrosis
- Seizure as presenting symptom
- Presence of MGMT gene promoter hypermethylation
- Extent of surgical resection
- Good performance status
- Intact neurological function
- Presence of microvascular proliferation and necrosis are poor prognostic factors for oligoastrocytoma.[16]
