  Surgery is the mainstay of treatment, said Dr. Bruce Korf, a medical geneticist who has been treating neurofibromatosis patients since 1983.Lasers also have been used.
  
  Researchers are looking at drugs that may prevent, slow or shrink tumors, said Korf, from the University of Alabama-Birmingham.
  
  But because patients' symptoms are so diverse, a treatment for one person may not work for another, he said.
