A member asked:
What would be the life expectancy of someone with astrocytoma on brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Which grade ?: The answer to your question depends on the histological tumor grade (world health organization (who) grades 1-4), size of the tumor, location, and patient age etc. High grade tumors such as glioblastoma may take one's life in 10 months or less.
