A member asked:
After gross total resection with some residual t2 signal left on follow up imaging, how often do grade 2 astrocytomas grow or become more aggressive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
To be expected: Hoping, however, that you have plenty of good years ahead. These tumors are almost never truly cured, but are often indolent. Enjoy each day and be brave.
