Research Notes on Acoustic Neuroma Treatment
An acoustic neuroma can be treated in a number of ways including conservative treatment, surgery, and radiation therapy.1 The conservation treatment usually starts with a “wait and see” period to track the tumor’s growth.1 Removal of the tumor is done through various methods including microsurgery, and radiation therapy which slows or stops tumor growth.1
Fast Facts:
- These neurotoma tend to grow very slowly.1
- 45% of acoustic neuromata do not grow detectably over the 3-5 years of observation.1
- Tumor growth is usually monitored using an MRI.1
