Hi Rudolf, you'd have to talk to the oncologist about that.  It's one of the more rare forms of cancer and sometimes a side effect of radiation so more than likely, they probably treat with chemo, hyperfractionated irradiation, medications like Avastin but that will be up to the oncologist, please be sure she sees one.
