Anaplastic Astrocytoma

Anaplastic astrocytoma is a type of brain tumor that arises from supportive brain cells called astrocytes. It is considered a high-grade, aggressive tumor, meaning it grows quickly and can invade nearby brain tissue. Symptoms may include headaches, seizures, weakness, or changes in vision or speech. While it can be treated with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, it is more challenging to cure than lower-grade tumors. The prognosis varies depending on factors like tumor size, location, and treatment response, but overall, it requires careful medical management and monitoring.
