Good find Michele!

makes me feel positive about my CK (even though I am not of advanced age  ;D)-- 6 years ago this month

CONCLUSION: Even for larger volume Koos grade IV VS, single-
session SRS provided satisfactory tumor control and cranial nerve preser-
vation without the need for delayed resection in 96% of patients followed
for up to 30 years. For patients with minimal symptoms of tumor mass
effect, SRS should be considered a potent alternative to surgery, especially
in patients with advanced age or medical comorbidities.
