Overview

If left untreated, patients with oligoastrocytoma may progress to develop seizures, focal neurological deficits, hydrocephalus, brain herniation, intracranial hemorrhage, and ultimately death.[1][2][3] Oligoastrocytomas are slow growing tumors.[4] Common complications associated with oligoastrocytoma include hydrocephalus, intracranial hemorrhage, coma, metastasis, venous thromboembolism, and side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.[2][5][6][1][7][3] 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.[8] The prognosis for patients with oligoastrocytoma is more favorable than that for anaplastic oligoastrocytoma because of the more indolent course and younger age at which most patients are diagnosed.[2] The 1, 5, and 10-year survival rates of patients with oligoastrocytoma are approximately 87%, 56.97%, and 45.80%.[9]

Natural history

  • Oligoastrocytomas are slow growing tumors.[4] The tumors may be present for many years before they are diagnosed.[10]
  • If left untreated, patients with oligoastrocytoma may progress to develop seizures, focal neurological deficits, hydrocephalus, brain herniation, intracranial hemorrhage, and ultimately death.[1][2][3]
  • 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 .[11]

Complications

Common complications associated with oligoastrocytoma include:[2][5][6][1][7][3]

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.[8]
  • The prognosis for patients with oligoastrocytoma is more favorable than that for anaplastic oligoastrocytoma because of the more indolent course and younger age at which most patients are diagnosed.[2]
  • The 1, 5, and 10-year survival rates of patients with oligoastrocytoma are approximately 87%, 56.97%, and 45.80%.[9]
  • Favorable prognostic factors for oligoastrocytoma include:[12][13][5][14][15][1]
  • Presence of microvascular proliferation and necrosis are poor prognostic factors for oligoastrocytoma.[16]
