A member asked:
How do i cope with neurofibromatosis ?? is it really not curable??. are there any treatments available??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No cure per say: There is no "cure" for neurofibromatosis and management is mostly geared at surgical resection of symptomatic tumors. There are also different variants of neurofibromatosis such as type 1 and type 2 that clinically manifest in different ways.
