Prognostic factors associated with survival in patients with diffuse astrocytoma | CellTalk

Astrocytomas are the most common primary tumors in the central nervous system (CNS). These tumors arise from astrocytes-star-shaped cells that make up the “glue-like” or supportive tissue of the brain. The diagnosis is based primarily on histopathological criteria defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) that grades astrocytomas as pilocytic astrocytoma (grade I), diffuse astrocytoma (grade II), anaplastic astrocytoma (grade III), and glioblastoma (grade IV).
Diffuse astrocytomas (DA) are grade II astrocytomas also known as low-grade astrocytomas. DA consists of fibrillary astrocytoma, protoplasmic astrocytoma, and gemistocytic astrocytoma. Diffuse astrocytoma is a slow-growing brain tumor. They are infiltrating tumors with ill-defined borders.
