Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Oligodendroglioma is a low grade tumor of the brain.(WHO grade 2). There are other possibilities of diagnosis with that MR result (high grade gliomas, metastasis). The treatment is surgical followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy after dhe biosy response. The treatment needs to be done on a specialized Neurosurgical Center.Hope this answers your question.
