Abstract
Background:Surgical removal remains the gold standard treatment for vestibular schwannomas (VS), but radiation therapy (RT) remains a viable alternative for small to medium-sized tumors with recent technological advances. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) involves delivery of a high dose of radiation in a single treatment, while fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) involves 5 weeks of daily radiation treatment, with both utilizing a highly-targeted radiotherapy technique. Tumor control is excellent with any of the treatment approaches, with rates being reported at greater than 95% at 5 years.
