I have type 2 neurofibromatosis, I have had surgery to remove most of the tumors, now I have 3 large fibromas left in my jaw/cheek.  I thought cyberknife would be an effective treatment but my Dr said the tumors were too close to the surface, and they cant be removed surgically because the risk of facial paralysis is very high.  my question is, would brachytherapy be a good option for my case?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, brachytherapy is good option for you. In fact, it is the only option for you because surgery is very risky at that location. Possibility of facial nerve damage is high in surgery. So better not to go for surgery. Brachytherapy is non-invasive, so safe and will need to cause any damage to facial nerve or other structures. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
