cells called astrocytes. Astrocytes are responsible for protecting other nerve cells found within the brain and spinal cord and are known as glial cells and form tissue which is known as glial tissue. Tumors that arise from glial tissue‚ including astrocytomas‚ are collectively referred to as gliomas. They accounts for 35 to 50 percent of all tumors that are present in the brain and spinal cord. Astrocytoma is separated into two classification systems and into four different groups‚ which are determined
