Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The distinction between CNS WHO grade 2 and grade 3 is instrumental in choosing between observational follow-up and adjuvant treatment for resected astrocytomas IDH-mutant. However, the criteria of CNS WHO grade 2 vs 3 have not been updated since the pre-IDH era. METHODS: Maximal mitotic activity in consecutive high-power fields corresponding to 3 mm2 was examined for 118 lower-grade astrocytomas...
