Nasal NFB: Nasal neurofibromas are exceeding rare tumors in the nasal cavity. The world's literature does not contain too many long term case reports, but the few that have been studied have reasonably good outcomes. Abt therapy has been touted by some to be effective, when conventional therapy is ineffective, as capable of slowing the growth of fibromatous tissues you need to follow up for your new sx.

Ask Why: Neurofibromas that cause symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness sometimes need treatment. Usually this would entail surgical resection, but for tumors that cannot be removed a non-invasive radiation therapy procedure call radiosurgery can effective halt their growth and cause them to shrink over time. Ask your doc why the abt, find out if you have neurofibromatosis, and maybe see a specialist.
