This study aims to investigate the effect of long-term bevacizumab treatment on VS progression.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003Demographic, clinical, audiometric, and radiographic data were collected from the medical records of NF2 patients treated with bevacizumab at a tertiary medical center.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Eleven tumors from seven NF2 patients treated with bevacizumab were analyzed. The median age was 17 years (range: 12\u201347 years). Median bevacizumab treatment time was 33 months (range: 12\u201374 months). Of five patients with serviceable hearing pretreatment, one (20%) maintained serviceable hearing during bevacizumab therapy. Significantly slower growth rates for both tumor diameters and tumor volumes were identified during active bevacizumab treatment. Median tumor diameters and volumes during active bevacizumab treatment were 0 cm\/year (range: \u20130.13\u20130.17 cm\/year) and 0.1 cm3\/year (range: \u20130.92\u20130.41), compared with 0.37 cm\/year (range: 0\u20131.5 cm\/year, p\u2009=\u20090.0011) and 1.38 cm3\/year (range: 0.013\u20133.74), respectively, without bevacizumab treatment (p\u2009=\u20090.0263). Reduced tumor progression was noted with bevacizumab treatment utilizing both linear greatest diameter (hazard ratio 0.16, p\u2009=\u20090.006) and segmentation volumes (hazard ratio 0.15, p\u2009=\u20090.023). Complications of bevacizumab treatment included fatigue (43%), nausea\/vomiting (43%), hypertension (43%), epistaxis (29%), and proteinuria (29%). One subject had a cerebrovascular accident detected on screening magnetic resonance imaging without symptoms or neurological sequelae.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Discussion\u2003Bevacizumab may reduce tumor growth rate and the risk of progression based on both volumetric and linear measurements.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0038-1676628","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,17]],"date-time":"2018-12-17T23:39:56Z","timestamp":1545089996000},"page":"540-546","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Long-Term Effects of Bevacizumab on Vestibular Schwannoma Volume in Neurofibromatosis Type 2 Patients"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"80","author":[{"given":"Daniel E.","family":"Killeen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology \u2013 Head and Neck Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Klesse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics and Neurosurgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anthony M.","family":"Tolisano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology \u2013 Head and Neck Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacob B.","family":"Hunter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology \u2013 Head and Neck Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"Jr","given":"Joe Walter","family":"Kutz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology \u2013 Head and Neck Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,17]]},"container-title":["Journal of Neurological Surgery Part B: Skull Base"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0038-1676628.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,17]],"date-time":"2019-09-17T22:45:27Z","timestamp":1568760327000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0038-1676628"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,17]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"05","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,17]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,10]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0038-1676628","relation":{},"ISSN":["2193-6331","2193-634X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2193-6331","type":"print"},{"value":"2193-634X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,17]]}}}
