Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr Amit. There is no cure for neurofibromatosis (NF) till now. So many drugs are on the research trial. At present treatments for neurofibromatosis focus on controlling symptoms. There is no standard treatment for NF.
Treatment option may include
1.Surgery to remove problematic growths or tumors
2.Treatment that includes chemotherapy or radiation if a tumor has turned malignant or cancerous
3.Surgery for bone problems, like scoliosis
4.Therapy (including physical therapy, counseling or support groups)
5.T reatment of associated pain. Hope i have answer to your question satisfactory. Feel free to ask if you have any other query
