Risk analysis of radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma: Systematic review and comparative study of 10-year outcomes
This "best-available" case-control study of 10-year data reveals that ARR and NNT are similar for VS with and without definite pretreatment linear growth. These comparisons may be applied to CPA diameters less than 2 cm. Results for Koos 1 tumors are different. This analysis quantifies the therapeutic benefit of SRS by comparative risk analysis. The level of evidence on this topic is low.
