neurofibromatosis type 2

What Are the Treatment Options for NF2?

There is no cure for NF2, so treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life. Surgical removal of tumors is a common approach, though it carries risks, especially when tumors are near critical nerves or brain structures. Radiation therapy may be used to reduce tumor size or slow growth. Advances in targeted therapies, such as bevacizumab, show promise in reducing the size of vestibular schwannomas and preserving hearing.
