CyberKnife Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Vestibular Schwannomas: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Long-Term Tumor Control and Hearing Preservation Outcomes

Key Points

• High rates of tumor control were observed in patients undergoing cyberknife stereotactic radiosurgery.
• Data indicates significant tumor control alongside hearing preservation for small vestibular schwannomas.
• This systematic review included multiple studies evaluating long-term outcomes of cyberknife treatment.
• Future studies should compare cyberknife with other radiosurgery methods, such as gamma knife.
