How do you approach deciding between SRS and fractionated radiation for an acoustic neuroma?

What factors do you consider? Size, symptoms, etc?

Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution

Offer fractionated RT if patient has serviceable hearing (can use the phone on that side). Otherwise SRS if less than 3 cm. If larger than 3 cm and not a surgical candidate, fractionated RT.
