What Is Neurofibromatosis?
10. Treatment
Even our most modern medicating and equipment is unable to cure neurofibromatosis. However, treatment is available that will at least help to manage the condition as well as to help maintain or improve the patient’s quality of life. This will typically involve medication that will help to reduce the amount of pain the patient experiences.
The patient may also need to be treated for malignant tumors. This will typically involve medication, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and surgery will also sometimes be necessary. Stereotactic radiosurgery may also sometimes be used for benign tumors, while benign tumors will also sometimes need to be surgically removed.
