Neurofibromatosis is a disease that disturbs the proper growth of the cells of your nervous system. It is genetic, which means that you may suffer from it because one or both of your parents had this disease. If you get affected with neurofibromatosis, you have an increased risk of being affected with other kinds of tumors related to nervous system, such as spinal cord tumors. Cancer is caused by neurofibromatosis tumors in very rare cases. So far, there is no definite cure for neurofibromatosis. However, researchers and clinicians have discovered new ways to treat patients with specific neurofibromatosis-related problems.
