The microenvironment in sporadic and neurofibromatosis type II–related vestibular schwannoma: the same tumor or different? A comparative imaging and neuropathology study

Abstract

The authors present the first in vivo comparative study of microvascular and inflammatory characteristics in sporadic and NF2-related VSs. The imaging and tissue analysis results indicate that inflammation is a key contributor to TME and should be viewed as a therapeutic target in both VS groups.
