Hemangioblastoma treatment

The treatment for hemangioblastoma is surgical excision of the tumour that can be complicated by preoperative hemorrhage.

Successful resection of hemangioblastoma depends on preoperative assessment of the precise locations of feeding arteries and draining veins.

Although usually straightforward to carry out, recurrence of the tumor or more tumors at a different site develop in approximately 20% of patients.
