A member asked:
What is your thought on having the gamma knife on a meningioma on the brain stem and cranial nerves ? over the single doses 5 days a week for 5 weeks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pros'/Con's: Radiosurgery, such as the gamma knife, might be a good option for residual, growing tumor following resection or if your tumor is deemed inoperable. There is risk of injury to the brainstem and cranial nerves. A surgical resection, however, carries the best chance at a cure.
