Neurofibromatosis Treatment
What are treatments for NF1?
There is currently no cure for NF1. Treatment focuses on managing the symptoms and monitoring for complications through surgical intervention and supportive therapies.
Surgical Intervention for Neurofibromatosis
Surgery is used to remove neurofibromas that are causing pain, disfigurement, or functional impairments. This can help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. If there are tumors located in sensitive areas or involve critical structures, surgery may be required.
