An Analysis of Translational Radiotherapy for Vestibular Schwannoma
Author(s): Laura Sebastian*
The treatment of vestibular schwannoma is still up for debate and may involve a
wait-and-see approach, surgery, and radiotherapy, primarily using a stereotactic
technique. Reviewing the outcomes of current clinical series that received
radiotherapy is the goal of this investigation. Materials and procedures Pubmed
and Scopus were used to search the literature using the terms "vestibular
schwannoma, acoustic neuroma, radiation, and radiosurgery". Waiting it out,
surgery, and radiotherapy are among the treatment options for VS. When treating
minor lesions, radiosurgery (SRS) has a local control rate of more than 90%, which
is comparable to surgical methods. Recent research reviews demonstrate that SRS
results in positive functional outcomes. In cases of massive inoperable lesions,
fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) is recommended by a n.. View More»
