Overview
Medical therapy
- There is no obvious medical treatment for schwannomas other than managing the symptoms.
Radiotherapy
- Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)
- Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT)
Stereotactic radiotherapy and conventional fractionated radiation therapy have been in use as one of the treatment modalities. [1][2]
