Current first-line therapy for
anaplastic astrocytoma is surgery followed by treatment with temozolomide.

Expression level of miR-124a was significantly decreased in
anaplastic astrocytoma and GBMs, when compared to normal brain tissue [77], and also in oligodendroglioma [78].
(1, 5) When increased cellularity, mitosis, and nuclear atypia are present, it is classified as
anaplastic astrocytoma (WHO grade III).
Jake's mom, 38-year-old Malini Mayerhauser, has a form of brain cancer called
anaplastic astrocytoma Grade 3.
Transformation of intracranial
anaplastic astrocytoma associated with neurofibromatosis type I into gliosarcoma: case report.
[36], who reported significant increase of IL-10 serum levels in patients with
anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma.
The most widely used system is the World Health Organization (WHO) classification (1979, 1993, 2000, and 2007) that grades astrocytomas (I-IV) based on cytological atypia, mitotic activity, vascular proliferation, and necrosis: pilocytic astrocytoma (grade I), diffuse astrocytoma (grade II),
anaplastic astrocytoma (grade III), and glioblastoma (grade IV).
Malignant gliomas include WHO grade III:
anaplastic astrocytoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma and anaplastic oligoastrocytoma, and WHO grade IV: glioblastoma and gliosarcoma.
