A member asked:
Are all cystic astrocytomas malignant? can you share some sources?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cystic astrocytoma: Not all cystic astrocytomas are malignant. Being cystic does not make the tumor malignant, there are other findings in the tumor that need to be present to declare the tumor malignant.
