Neurofibromatosis type 1 and neurofibromatosis type 2 are unrelated, distinct genetic disorders characterized by the development of central and peripheral nervous system tumors.
Neurofibromatosis type 1 is the most common inherited tumor predisposition syndrome with a lifelong increased risk of benign and malignant tumor development, such as glioma and nerve sheath tumors. Neurofibromatosis type 2 classically presents with bilateral vestibular schwannoma, yet it is also associated with non-vestibular schwannoma, meningioma, and ependymoma. Historically, the number of effective therapies for neurofibromatosis-related neoplasms has been limited.
In the past decade, there have been significant advances in the development of precision-based therapies for NF-associated tumors with an increased emphasis on functional outcomes in addition to tumor response. Continued scientific discovery and advancement of targeted therapies for NF-associated neoplasms are necessary to continue to improve outcomes for patients with NF.
神经纤维瘤病 1 型和神经纤维瘤病 2 型是两种互不相关的、独特的遗传性疾病,其特征是中枢和周围神经系统肿瘤的发展。
神经纤维瘤病 1 型是最常见的遗传性肿瘤易感性综合征,一生中良性和恶性肿瘤发展的风险增加,如神经胶质瘤和神经鞘瘤。神经纤维瘤病 2 型经典表现为双侧前庭神经鞘瘤,但也与非前庭神经鞘瘤、脑膜瘤和室管膜瘤有关。历史上,神经纤维瘤相关肿瘤的有效治疗方法数量有限。
在过去的十年中,针对 NF 相关肿瘤的基于精准医学的治疗方法取得了重大进展,除了肿瘤反应外,对功能结果的重视程度也有所提高。为了继续改善 NF 患者的预后,有必要继续进行针对 NF 相关肿瘤的靶向治疗的科学发现和进展。
