Chordoma: Surgery + Radiation
Tai et al, Cancer, 1995:
159 patients with cranial chordomas
treated by various regimens:
•
Subtotal resection followed by adjuvant
radiation had a significantly improved
survival over surgery alone (p=0.011)
•
No difference when compared to
radiation alone (p=0.271)
•
The survival curves for the combined
treatment separate with follow up and
suggest a benefit to include surgery in the
management
