Acoustic Neuroma

The poliovirus should be used against acoustic neuromas. However, I see no push to use this new genetically modified virus as a treatment for an acoustic neuroma. Someone needs to start a movement to get this done. Sparing acoustic neuroma patient from open brain surgery would be a major step forward.

I will try to find any books about acoustic neuromas and link to them below.

The above link says an acoustic neuroma is a brain tumor. That is a colloquialism and is not technically accurate. An acoustic neuroma is really a cranial nerve tumor arising from the acoustic nerve. But because they are inside the skull, and they are adjacent to the brain, sometimes even impinging upon the brain, people just go ahead and call them brain tumors.
