Surgical total removal of a frontal lobe grade II astrocytoma is a more serious condition. If the tumor can be completely removed, to recover well after surgery is a better outcome.
Astrocytoma is a common brain malignant tumor, grade I-II astrocytoma is less malignant than grade III~ and has a better prognosis. After the appearance of grade II astrocytoma in the frontal lobe, it is a better outcome if it can be surgically totalized. This is because some astrocytomas, located deep in the brain, are simply inoperable.
However, during intracranial surgery, there is a risk of damage to the surrounding neurovascularity, so it is still more serious. In addition, it is also possible that patients are older, have more comorbid chronic diseases, and are in poorer health, so even if the surgery is more successful, the condition may worsen due to other comorbidities. If it is not possible to completely remove the tumor through surgery, a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy may be necessary.
Although frontal lobe grade II astrocytoma is a more serious disease, it still has a better chance of being cured with early and regular comprehensive treatment.
