Astrocytomas are primary intracranial tumors derived from astrocytes cells of the brain. They may arise in the cerebral hemispheres, in the posterior fossa, in the optic nerve, and rarely, the spinal cord. The WHO has given a four point scale depending on the histologic grade of the tumor . This article focuses on the well-differentiated astrocytoma. For grade 1 and 4 astrocytomas, see respective article headings: (From the Wikpedia article Astrocytoma.)
