Can quantifying the extent of 'high grade' features help explain prognostic variability in anaplastic astrocytoma?

IDH1 status, age, treatment and location remain the most significant prognostic indicators for patients with AA. However, Ki-67 index, mitotic figures and cellularity may help identify AA cases more likely to survive < 3 years, i.e. AA cases more similar to glioblastoma and those cases more likely to survive > 3 years, i.e. more similar to a low-grade glioma.
