Biomarker: Biomarkers or genetic mutations found in the tumor may help to determine the prognosis. These include: IDH1, IDH2, MGMT, and 1p/19q co-deletion.
Some brain tumours grow very slowly (low grade) and cannot be cured. Depending on your age at diagnosis, the tumour may eventually cause your death. The extent of the tumour also plays a vital role in prognosis of the disease. Metastic tumour is critical to get the good prognosis in them.
