Optimal Timing of Primary Radiosurgical Treatment of Growing Vestibular Schwannoma: Insights From Salvage Microsurgery Outcomes
Corroborated by size threshold surveillance data informing the timing of primary microsurgical resection, the current study suggests that VS outcomes are optimized when primary radiosurgical intervention is undertaken on growing tumors when they harbor 10-15 mm of cerebellopontine angle extension or less.
