April 25, 2005 (Press Release) --
Childhood cerebral astrocytoma is diagnosed and removed in surgery.
If a brain tumor is suspected, a brain biopsy is done by removing part of the skull and using a needle to remove a sample of the tumor tissue. A pathologist views the tissue under a microscope to look for cancer cells. If cancer cells are found, the doctor will remove as much tumor as safely possible during the same surgery.
