Grade III astrocytoma is definitely agressive form of brain tumors.It is treated with surgical excision by good neurosurgeon with good experience in brain tumors followed by radiotherapy in a good center.Plz feel free to send your reports to me drsumandas@gmail.com so that i can guide you
Brain astrocytoma is essentialy a whole brain diseaese. For grade 3 astrocytoma, debulking-removal of accesible portion of tumor as much as possible followed by radiotherapy for several weeks and chemotherapy is the usual treatment.
