Overview
Oligodendroglioma, although rare, is the third most common glioma.[1] The incidence of oligodendroglioma and anaplastic oligodendroglioma is estimated to be 0.32 and 0.17 cases per 100,000 individuals in the United States, respectively.[2] Oligodendroglioma is a disease that tends to affect the middle-aged adult population.[1] Oligodendroglioma most commonly occurs in the 4th and 5th decade of life. Males are more commonly affected with oligodendroglioma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.[3] Oligodendroglioma usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race. African American, Latin American, and Asian individuals are less likely to develop oligodendroglioma.[4]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- Oligodendroglioma, although rare, is the third most common glioma.[1]
- Oligodendroglioma accounts for 2%–5% of primary brain tumors and 5%–18% of all glial neoplasms.
Incidence
- The incidence of oligodendroglioma and anaplastic oligodendroglioma is estimated to be 0.32 and 0.17 cases per 100,000 individuals in the United States, respectively.[2]
Age
- Oligodendroglioma is a disease that tends to affect the middle-aged adult population.[1]
- 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 oligodendroglioma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.[3]
Race
- Oligodendroglioma usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race. African American, Latin American, and Asian individuals are less likely to develop oligodendroglioma.[4]
