Abstract
In children and adolescents with clival chordomas, higher preoperative Karnofsky performance scale score, total resection, and lower levels of Ki-67 and CK8 expression are favorable prognostic factors. Platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β may play a role in tumorigenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of clival chordomas.
