Additionally, contrary to previous literature that describes gemistocytic astrocytoma as a purely supratentorial lesion, we present two cases of gemistocytic astrocytoma involving the brainstem. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Case Presentation The patient is a 26-year-old woman who initially presented with new-onset headache and blurry vision. Her neurologic examination was non-focal and without papilledema. Laboratory findings were unremarkable. [cureus.com]

Detection of many of the molecular changes that underlie the development of gliomas and other BT can now be done by immunohistochemistry and is getting into the mainstream of the diagnostic workup of BT. [neuropathology-web.org]

Nevertheless, a precise diagnosis is crucial as the prognosis and therapy of these diseases are different. Quantitative MR imaging sequences, which provide metabolic and vascular information, could be useful in the prevention of misdiagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Gemistocytic astrocytoma has a poorer prognosis than the other matched WHO grade II (low-grade) astrocytic tumors ( fibrillary astrocytoma, protoplasmic astrocytoma, and oligoastrocytoma ). [1] The 5-year survival rate of patients with gemistocytic [wikidoc.org]

Clinical Outcome and Prognostic Factors Background and Purpose: Although gemistocytic astrocytomas are considered slow-growing tumors, they often behave aggressively and carry the least favorable prognosis among low-grade astrocytomas. [link.springer.com]

The etiology, cellular and molecular pathogenic mechanisms remain unclear to a great extent. [journal-imab-bg.org]

For the majority of astrocytoma, the etiology is unknown. Children with a familial cancer predisposition have an increased risk for developing both low grade and high grade gliomas. [childrensmn.org]

Prevention [ edit ] There are no precise guidelines because the exact cause of astrocytoma is not known. Treatment [ edit ] For low-grade astrocytomas, removal of the tumor generally allows functional survival for many years. [en.wikipedia.org]
