CAUSES OF ASTROCYTOMAS  Researchers have found that cancer develops from mutations within the genes of cells. Which means that cancer is a genetic disease.

SYMPTOMS OF ASTROCYTOMAS  Astrocytoma in the Frontal lobe: Gradual changes in mood Gradual changes in personality Paralysis on one side of the body Headaches

Area affected by Astrocytoma  Astrocytoma affects many different parts of the brain.  One of the parts of the brain that is affected is the frontal lobe of the brain.
