Astrocytoma

Head & Neck

An astrocytoma is a brain tumour that develops from astrocytes, a type of support cell in the brain. Lower grade astrocytomas can grow slowly for years. An MRI may show changes in brain tissue consistent with an astrocytoma. Finding an astrocytoma early allows for monitoring and treatment that may help prevent it from growing or undergoing malignant transformation.

SCReening explained
It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
