This article's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out-of-date information. The reason given is: Per the 2021 update of the WHO classification, "anaplastic astrocytoma" is not a separate type of tumor. They are instead graded as the grade 3 subtype of "astrocytoma, IDH-mutant". Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information.(August 2021)
Anaplastic astrocytoma is a rare WHO grade III type of astrocytoma, which is a type of cancer of the brain. In the United States, the annual incidence rate for anaplastic astrocytoma is 0.44 per 100,000 people.[1]
