. @ncalliance_nhs has been awarded £3.4 million to lead a landmark UK-wide trial looking at whether stereotactic radiosurgery can preserve hearing in people with vestibular schwannoma, tumours that grow on the nerve connecting the ear to the brain. ncaresearch.org.uk/news/nati…
“If the trial shows that early SRS preserves hearing, it has the potential to change how vestibular schwannoma is managed across the NHS and internationally. If not, the trial will provide equally important evidence to prevent patients undergoing radiosurgery unnecessarily.” Professor Omar Pathmanaban

The @nihr funded study is the 1st randomised controlled study will compare early SRS against standard ‘watch-and-scan’ care over four years of follow-up to determine which is best for patients' hearing.

We're proud to be introduce more automated technology to support biopsy sample processing across our organisation. Capable of running 24/7, it helps our pathology lab work more effectively, freeing up biomedical scientists to focus on more complex specialist work.
