For the surgically treated patients, the mean (SD) survival was 11.8 (6.6) years, and expected survival was 11 years for the matched background population. The mean (SD) survival was 10.7 (5.5) years in female patients and 8.9 (5.0) years in male patients.

Vestibular schwannomas — the preferred term for acoustic neuromas — are heterogeneous benign tumors that can negatively impact quality of life. Optimal management requires expertise with evolving treatment options.
Objective: To evaluate the survival after diagnosis of a Vestibular Schwannoma in elderly patients 70 years of age or older in in conservatively- and surgically treated patients and compared these findings with the life span of an age matched background population in Denmark.
•Surgery for vestibular schwannoma does not influence negatively on life expectancy, even in elderly patients. •Patients in the observation-group has shorter survival compared to the operation-group. •Probably due to increased co-morbidity.
Background: The incidence of vestibular schwannomas has increased during the last several decades, especially in the elderly. Objective: To determine the survival in vestibular schwannoma patients aged ≥70 years and survival with different treatment paradigms.
The differences in HRQOL outcomes following SRS, observation, and microsurgery for VS are small. Notably, the diagnosis of VS rather than treatment strategy most significantly impacts quality of life. Understanding that a large number of VSs do not grow following discovery, and that intervention doe …
Results: Both the wait-and-scan group and the operation group had a longer overall life expectancy compared with the overall population, and the cause of death in these patients is unrelated to their vestibular schwannomas. The two groups showed no significant difference in contacts with the hospital departments.
Identifying and managing post-operative symptoms may improve quality of life in vestibular schwannoma patients and can guide clinical decision making.
At least one schwannoma tumor and a confirmed genetic variant of the SMARCB1 gene collected from a blood or saliva genetic test. ... Schwannomatosis doesn’t directly affect your life expectancy. If you’re concerned about your outlook, you should speak directly with your healthcare provider. Your situation is unique, so they can give you the ...
