About

N. Massager is a leading figure in stereotactic radiosurgery, with a focused expertise in treating neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2)-related vestibular schwannomas (VS). Their seminal 2013 work, "Hearing preservation and tumour control after radiosurgery for NF2-related vestibular schwannomas," analyzed the effects of Gamma Knife radiosurgery on tumour control and cranial nerve function in NF2 patients. This study, cited 12 times, demonstrated that high-precision, robotized positioning systems could achieve effective tumour control while preserving hearing—a critical advancement for a condition where bilateral tumours threaten both hearing and life. Massager’s contributions have helped refine radiosurgical protocols, balancing aggressive tumour management with functional preservation. Their research underscores the potential of non-invasive interventions in complex genetic disorders, offering hope for improved quality of life in NF2 patients. By systematically evaluating outcomes, Massager has provided evidence-based guidance for clinicians navigating the delicate trade-offs between tumour control and cranial nerve protection, solidifying their reputation as a key innovator in neuro-oncology and radiosurgery.
