  Additionally, a phenomenon known as thalamic pain – where the thalamus overreacts to pain impulses from the contralateral side – has been observed subsequent to a thalamic infarct. [kenhub.com]

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]

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

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]
