In the past century, significant advances have been made in understanding the clinical features of acoustic neuromas. Furthermore, rapid technological advances have led to the development of sensitive, rapid, and relatively noninvasive diagnostic modalities, which has allowed for earlier discovery of acoustic neuromas and has reduced the average tumor size at time of diagnosis. The ultimate result has been improved clinical outcomes after surgery and radiotherapy.
在过去的一个世纪里，人们对听神经瘤临床特征的认识取得了重大进展。此外，快速的技术进步促使了灵敏、快速且相对无创的诊断方法的发展，这使得听神经瘤能够被更早发现，并减小了诊断时肿瘤的平均大小。最终结果是手术和放疗后的临床疗效得到了改善。
