Hi doctors, can you tell me what is life expectancy of someone with astrocytoma on brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Really depends: Depends on a few features - what grade - ie grade 2, 3, or 4, patient age, and other comorbidities. Grade 2s live about 10 years grade 3s live about 3-5 years grade 4s live.
