Oligodendroglioma Test Package at Affordable Price

Oligodendroglioma is a type of brain tumor that arises from oligodendrocytes, which are specialized cells that produce the myelin sheath, a protective covering around nerve fibers in the central nervous system. Oligodendrogliomas are considered a type of glioma, which are tumors that originate from glial cells in the brain.

Oligodendrogliomas are relatively rare and account for approximately 2-5% of all primary brain tumors. They typically occur in adults, with a peak incidence in the 4th to 5th decades of life.

The symptoms of oligodendroglioma can vary depending on the location and size of the tumor in the brain. Common symptoms may include headache, seizures, focal neurological deficits such as weakness, numbness, or speech difficulties, changes in vision, cognitive or memory changes, and personality or mood changes.

Our Oligodendroglioma Test Package Includes:

Diagnosis of oligodendroglioma usually involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, neuroimaging studies (such as MRI or CT scan), and a brain biopsy for definitive diagnosis. Molecular testing for specific genetic mutations, such as mutations in the IDH1 and IDH2 genes, is often performed to help classify the tumor and guide treatment decisions.
