neurofibromatosis type 2

What are the Possible Treatments for NF2?

Treatment options for NF2 are mainly focused on managing symptoms and may include surgery, radiation therapy, and pharmacotherapy. Surgical removal of tumors can alleviate symptoms, although it carries risks, especially in the case of vestibular schwannomas due to their proximity to critical nerves. Radiation therapy can be used to shrink tumors, and emerging pharmacological treatments aim to target molecular pathways involved in tumor growth.
