High-dose Radiotherapy in the Management of Chordoma and Chondrosarcoma of the Skull Base and Cervical Spine: Part 1 - Clinical Outcomes

Our results confirm a need for aggressive local surgery and high-dose radiotherapy, and endorse multidisciplinary working. Although charged particle therapy is accepted as providing optimal treatment plans, in eight of our patients travel abroad would not have been feasible. This series provides encouraging results for carefully planned photon conformal radiotherapy, carried out in close collaboration with a specialist surgical team.
