Recurrence After Subtotal Resection of NF‐2‐Associated Versus Sporadic Vestibular Schwannomas: A Matched‐Cohort Analysis

Key Points

• This analysis aims to understand tumor recurrence differences between NF-2-associated and sporadic vestibular schwannomas after subtotal resection.
• Conducted matched-cohort analysis
• Controlled for key confounders
• Compared recurrence rates between NF-2 and sporadic cases
• NF-2 tumors demonstrate a higher recurrence rate than sporadic tumors
• Findings indicate genetic factors significantly influence recurrence risk
• Supports lifelong surveillance for NF-2 patients due to elevated risks
