Mayo Clinic is a leading research center for acoustic neuroma and other tumors of the nervous system. The unique ability of Mayo Clinic to take research from the laboratory to the bedside means that patients often have available to them the most recent advances in surgical procedures and other treatment options. Currently, Mayo Clinic surgeons are comparing the success of microsurgery and radiosurgery for acoustic neuroma.
In addition, Mayo Clinic's routine practice of monitoring all patients over time adds to the physicians' knowledge about how different tumors progress, enabling them to better predict outcomes for each individual patient.
