Radiosurgery vs. Watch-and-Wait Approach for Newly Diagnosed Vestibular Schwannoma

Vestibular schwannoma is the most common tumor of the cerebellopontine angle. There is controversy regarding the management of these benign tumors with up-front radiosurgery vs. observation, especially for those that are small- to medium-sized with minimal symptoms. Recent evidence suggests that up-front radiosurgery may reduce tumor volume at four-year follow-up.
