A member asked:
Please explain if it is possible for anaplastic astrocytoma to reoccur two weeks after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Two weeks after surgery, it may be hard to differentiate between post-operative changes and residual tumor. However, two weeks would not typically be enough time for a recurrence.
