Abstract on Medical Therapies for ANs... or VS
« on: April 18, 2012, 10:04:20 am »
Did anyone else see this?

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22500497.1

Hopefully a medicine to treat ANs is just around the corner!

Lisa ~

Thanks for posting this.  It's very encouraging news!

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Another nice find Lisa.

I came across this research yesterday
Its from the 16th  Annual Leksel Gamma Knife Meeting held in Sydney a month ago. 

Most isn't relevant to AN's but a lot of research papers about Acoustic Neuromas/Vestibular Schwannomas too.
