Astrocitoma, diagnóstico y tratamiento
Summary: Astrocytomas are types of brain tumors, which are produced by an abnormal and uncontrolled growth of glial tissue, present in the nervous system and which feed and support neurons. The research methodology is a bibliographic review supported by electronic media such as web pages (SCOPUS, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar), where a wide variety of research articles were found that address the subject studied, the objective is to collect the most relevant information from these authors to make a complete synthesis, which may help future research. Astrocytomas are a fairly complex pathology, which are classified into different grades and types. In most cases the diagnosis is based on imaging tests, specifically magnetic resonance imaging, which have a high degree of accuracy, computed tomography scans are also used in other cases. The treatments are surgical in nature, combined with radiotherapies, chemotherapies and the use of drugs. There are cases where the resection of the tumor cannot be complete, which may lead to another surgical intervention, if the remaining portion of the tumor is in a sector that can be accessed surgically, if not, as already mentioned, it is used radiotherapy or chemotherapy, as the case may be. After performing the surgical procedures, patients should continue with their evaluations, from time to time, to avoid the risk of the tumor reappearing.
