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.
