Anaplastic astrocytomas are a historical term used to denote histological grade III diffuse astrocytic tumors (regardless of molecular markers). (radiopaedia.org)
Tumors5
The predominant cell type in these tumors is thought to be derived from an immortalized astrocyte. (medscape.com)
This is mainly attributed to cellular heterogeneity of these tumors with multiple cell of origin, lack of effective drugs that cross the blood brain barrier and the absence of molecular markers that could be used for targeted therapy. (springeropen.com)
Brain tumors are a diverse group of neoplasms arising from different cells within the CNS or from primary tumors of other organs that spread to the CNS. (hindawi.com)
The key features present in anaplastic astrocytomas that were absent in low-grade tumors were mitotic activity and cellular pleomorphism. (radiopaedia.org)
The key to distinguishing anaplastic astrocytomas from low-grade tumors was the presence of enhancement which should generally be absent in the latter 1 . (radiopaedia.org)

Treatment options in astrocytomas include operative intervention, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and are guided in part by WHO Classification. (medscape.com)
Tumor2
Astrocytomas can be indolent or aggressive, depending on tumor grade, which drives prognosis and clinical decision making. (medscape.com)
The serine/threonine protein kinase BRAF is an important player in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway that transduces mitogenic signals from activated cell-surface growth factor receptors to the cell nucleus and as a result modulates many important cellular processes, such as tumor growth, differentiation, proliferation, and angiogenesis.

Anaplastic astrocytomas appeared similar to low-grade astrocytomas but were more variable in appearance. (radiopaedia.org)
Treatment1
Compared to glioblastomas, there were relatively few trials looking at treatment regimens for anaplastic astrocytoma 3 . (radiopaedia.org)
