Stereotactic radiosurgery vs. fractionated radiotherapy for large vestibular schwannomas: should FSRT be the preferred treatment?

To evaluate the effect of fractionation and prognostic factors on local control (LC) in the treatment of vestibular schwannoma (VS). The medical records of 104 patients with vestibular schwannoma who were treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) from January 2015 to September 2023 were retrospectively collected. SRS was performed using Cyberknife robotic lineer accelerator. The primary endpoint of this study was LC rates. The chi-square test or Fischer's exact test, where appropriate, was used to compare progression rates in patients with small (
