Why is it important?
The presence of histopathological features of both oligodendroglial and astrocytic morphology is classified as oligoastrocytomas or anaplastic oligoastrocytomas. Despite recent advances in understanding of the molecular genetic features of OD and therapeutic advances that have demonstrated clear benefit from radio-chemotherapy as initial treatment, OD remains an incurable and fatal disease. Oligodendroglial neoplasms harbor distinct and exclusive molecular genetic derangements and these biomarkers have prognostic and therapeutic significance.
