The treatment effect of stereotactic radiosurgery occurs gradually, depending on the condition being treated:

• Benign tumors (including vestibular schwannoma). Following stereotactic radiosurgery, the tumor may shrink over a period of 18 months to two years, but the main goal of treatment for benign tumors is to prevent any future tumor growth.
• Malignant tumors. Cancerous (malignant) tumors may shrink more rapidly, often within a few months.

You'll receive instructions on appropriate follow-up exams to monitor your progress.
