Growth rate of vestibular schwannoma

Highlights • One third of newly diagnosed vestibular schwannomas (VS) will grow in 1–3 years, and one half will grow on 5-year follow-up. • Age and gender do not influence growth of VS. • Tumor size and location do not predict tumor growth. • Growth in the first observation year predicts further tum...

Description
Summary:	Highlights • One third of newly diagnosed vestibular schwannomas (VS) will grow in 1–3 years, and one half will grow on 5-year follow-up. • Age and gender do not influence growth of VS. • Tumor size and location do not predict tumor growth. • Growth in the first observation year predicts further tumor growth. • The average growth rate of a VS is 1 mm/year, whilst the average growth rate of a VS shown to grow is 3 mm/year.
