The activation of the telomere maintenance mechanism (TMM) is one critical drivers cancer cell immortality. In gliomas, TERT expression and promoter mutation are considered to reliably indicate telomerase activation, while ATRX and/or loss indicates an alternative lengthening telomeres (ALT). However, these relationships have not been extensively validated in tumor tissues.

The mechanism of hearing loss following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for vestibular schwannomas (VSs) remains unclear. There is conflicting evidence regarding cochlear nerve damage by transient volume expansion VSs after and radiation-induced damage. This study aimed to investigate whether there a specific patient population that can achieve definite preservation SRS VSs.
