The aim of this study was to determine whether clinical and neuroimaging features could guide treatment, and to what extent these features, together with histological diagnosis and treatment modalities, influenced survival. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The thalamopeduncular tumors were mostly pilocytic astrocytomas, which had a good prognosis following surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These are known to have poor prognosis, irrespective of their histopathology. There are two views regarding the origin. [neurology.org]

Jentzsch et al made an effort to correlate the tumor volume response to radiation therapy to the prognosis. [17] They found a post treatment increase in tumor size in 4 patients with low grade gliomas which did not correlate with poor prognosis. [neurologyindia.com]

Increasing tumor grade is associated with poorer prognosis. Molecular profiling is now an important part of glioma classification. An IDH1 mutation carries a significantly improved prognosis over the IDH1 wildtype, no matter the tumor grade. [emedicine.medscape.com]
