Overview

Astrocytoma cells are a type of brain tumor that arise from astrocytes, which are star-shaped cells that support the brain's tissue and provide nutrients to the neurons. Astrocytoma cells can be benign or malignant and may grow to different sizes depending on the type and stage. Malignant astrocytomas can spread to other parts of the brain or spinal cord and cause serious damage if left untreated. Treatment for astrocytomas often includes surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these. Early diagnosis and treatment of astrocytomas is important for prognosis and quality of life.
