Patient Perspectives in Vestibular Schwannoma Surveillance
You are being invited to participate in a research study titled Patient Perspectives in Vestibular Schwannoma Surveillance. This study is being conducted by Jay Piccirillo, MD, Principal Investigator.
Study Information:
The researchers want to interview patients who are either actively undergoing observation or underwent observation before ultimately receiving treatment for their vestibular schwannoma. They hope that in conducting these interviews they can not only gain insight into the important factors in this decision making process but also help guide future research for patients considering to undergo observation for their vestibular schwannoma.
