Subtotal Resection of Large Acoustic Neuromas With Possible Stereotactic Radiation Therapy
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01129687
Purpose
The investigators study is to investigate safety and efficacy of performing a planned
incomplete removal of large acoustic neuroma tumors to decrease surgical morbidity and yet
avoid tumor recurrence by post-operative radiation therapy.
Official Title
Multicenter Prospective Analysis of Treatment Outcome in Patients With Large Acoustic Neuromas
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adult patients with acoustic neuromas the widest diameter of 2.5 cm or larger at the
cerebellopontine angle are eligible for this trial.
- Patients that are deemed good surgical candidates based on age, general health,
genetic predispositions, and hearing in contralateral side would be included as the
subjects of this trial.
- Although we would include patients with neurofibromatosis II in this trial,
considering their genetic predisposition for recurrence, we would analyze their
outcome as a separate group.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have received any form of treatment of their acoustic neuromas prior to
enrollment in the study including surgery or radiation therapy.
Intervention(s):
procedure: Microsurgery
procedure: Stereotactic radiation therapy
