A type of brain tumor that begins in the astrocyte cells of the brain or spinal chord.
a deadly tumor what help we get thru this was talking about it and asking the right questions , you have to learn about your diease to know what questions to ask, talk to other brain cancer patients learn for their expirences
a malignant tumor of nervous tissue composed of astrocytes
a primary tumor of the central nervous system that develops from the large, star-shaped glial cells known as astrocytes
a tumor derived from a normal supporting cell in the brain called the astrocyte
a tumor that arises from astrocytes a type of glial cell
a tumor that arises from astrocytes, which are cells that support and nourish the neurons of the brain
a tumor that arises from the astrocytes
a tumor that starts in the astrocytes
a tumor arising in the supportive cells (astrocytes) of the brain; most common primary CNS tumor, representing about half of all primary brain and spinal cord tumors.
brain/spinal cord tumor that arises from astrocyte cells (one type of glial cell [a glue-like structure or tissue] ).
A primary tumor of the brain composed of astrocytes and characterized by slow growth, cyst formation, invasion of surrounding structures and the possible development of a malignant glioblastoma within the tumor mass.
Tumor within the substance of the brain or spinal cord made up of astrocytes - often classified from Grade I (slow-growing) to Grade III (rapid-growing).
An intrinsic tumor of the brain that arises from star-shaped cells (astrocytes) of the neuroglia.
A brain tumor that contains astrocytes. There are different kinds of astrocytomas.
A tumor that begins in the brain or spinal cord in small, star-shaped cells called astrocytes.
A brain tumor arising in the supportive tissue of the brain. They are the most common primary CNS tumors, representing about half of all primary brain and spinal cord tumors.
Astrocytomas are tumors that start in brain cells called astrocytes. There are different kinds of astrocytomas, which are defined by how the cancer cells look under a microscope.
Astrocytomas are primary intracranial tumors derived from astrocytes cells of the brain. They may arise in the cerebral hemispheres, in the posterior fossa, in the optic nerve, and rarely, the spinal cord. The WHO has given a four point scale depending on the histologic grade of the tumor (see below).
