Statement about the Center

Arkansas Otolaryngology Center approaches each patient individually with options of either translabyrinthine, sub-occipital or on occasion middle fossa surgical approaches and radiation therapy. Currently it is our standard not to radiate individuals unless they demonstrate tumor growth. For that reason, we have a large number of tumors that we are observing.
