A member asked:

Please help! what is the survival rate for an astrocytoma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on the type: This is quite variable depending on grade )1 through 4) and type (oligoastrocytoma v. pure astrocytoma for example). The prognosis is worse for higher grade astrocytomas, but survival is improving for all astrocytomas due to better treatment.
