Impact of Pre-Treatment Growth Rate and Radiosurgery Approach on Stereotactic Radiosurgery Outcomes in Vestibular Schwannoma
Abstract
Introduction: Vestibular Schwannomas (VS) are often treated by stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), with single dose (sSRS) and fractionated therapy (fSRS) being two key modalities. While SRS is known to be effective at tumor control, there is limited understanding of how pre-treatment tumor growth impacts SRS outcomes, especially between different radiation modalities. Methods: A single-institutional retrospective chart review was conducted for VS patients treated with SRS between 2001 and 2023. Patient demographics, SRS modality, and serial MRI sizes were collected. Patients with neurofibromatosis 2, follow-up
