A member asked:
Is observation of a 2 cm astrocytoma a good idea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Astrocytoma: A 2cm astrocytoma is a small lesion and if the MR findings are also benign looking then followup observations with MR is the treatment of choice. If there are signs of growth then one has to re-assess the treatment
