Astrocytoma

Compassionate Astrocytoma Care for All Ages

Astrocytoma is a tumor that arises from astrocytes, which are the star-shaped cells that make up the supportive tissue of the brain. Most astrocytomas in children are benign and grow slowly, but they tend to be more aggressive in adults. They're most common in men over 45. With astrocytoma, you deserve the most advanced care, and that's what you can expect from the AdventHealth Neuroscience Institute network.

Our state-of-the-art facilities offer innovative care for adults and children affected by astrocytoma, including intraoperative MRI technology to view the tumors in 3D during surgery, and minimally invasive treatments that use laser technology to remove tumors or reduce their size. Together, these advanced techniques mean more of the tumor can be removed while the surrounding tissue is kept safe, all with less pain and scarring and a smoother recovery. From diagnosis to treatment and beyond, we'll be with you every step of the way.
