What is the Prognosis for Patients with Eighth Cranial Nerve Cancer?
The prognosis varies based on factors such as the type of tumor, its location, and the patient's overall health. Generally, benign tumors like acoustic neuromas have a good prognosis if treated early. However, malignant tumors or metastatic cancers involving the eighth cranial nerve may have a more guarded prognosis and require more aggressive treatment.
