Can malignant acoustic neuroma be cured?

Patient's question:

Malignant acoustic neuroma for 9 years. At first, it reappeared with dizziness on one side, and things sounded a bit unclear. Later, it became increasingly severe, sometimes even indistinct. After the surgery, there wasn't much stability. Seeking help from doctors, can malignant acoustic neuroma be cured?

Doctor's answer:

Acoustic neuroma, it is not malignant, it is not a malignant tumor. Acoustic neuroma is the most common benign tumor in ear neurosurgery, it is a benign tumor that occurs again on the auditory nerve.
