[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] Update II: The pathology on the first tumor indicated that it wasn't a Grade II as I had indicated. In that the tumor apparently had elements of both, the doctors think it was a Grade III or Anaplastic Astrocytoma changing into a Grade IV or Glioblastoma Multiforme. A Glioblastoma Multiforme is the worst of the four grades. [URL=http://www.braintumor.org/patient_info/surviving/tumor_types/gliomas.html]Tumor Types[/URL] [QUOTE]Characteristics � Grows faster and more aggressively than grade II astrocytomas � Tumor cells are not uniform in appearance � Invades neighboring tissue � Common among men and women in their 30s-50s � More common in men than women � Accounts for four percent of all brain tumors[/QUOTE]As a result, they intend treatment to be along the lines of what would be done it the tumor had been wholly a Grade IV.
