Is a gamma knife a good treatment for acoustic neuroma?

Depends: Gk can be a great treatment option for an. Many times it is not. It depends on the size and location of tumor, how quickly it's growing, risks of surgery, prior radiation treatment, many many factors. I do both surgery and gammaknife for my patients with acoustics, and each treatment plan is tailored to the specific details of that patient's tumor and overall health.

Sometimes: Gamma knife, surgery, and observation are all treatment options for acoustic neuroma based on the patients age, health, hearing status, age, and other factors. Need to discuss treatment options with a neurotologist and neurosurgeon to detained best treatment in each situation.
