What is the prognosis for someone with an astrocytoma?

The prognosis may vary depending on the type and location of the astrocytoma. For example, patients with a glioblastoma may have a survival rate of less than one year, although some patients may live five years or more. Patients with a pilocytic astrocytoma may have a survival rate of about ten years. If remission is achieved, it can be permanent or temporary.
