Abstract excerpt
Acoustic neuromas which are secondary to type 2 neurofibromatosis (NF2) respond less well to radiosurgery than unilateral sporadic disease. To refine the selection of these patients, a regression analysis was performed examining the response to radiosurgery of 114 NF2 tumours. The major determinant of outcome was tumour volume (p < 0.001). Calculating sensitivity and specificity values for different tumour volume...
