Prognostic Factors Significant for Local Control in CHORODMA

Residual tumor volume >25 c.c.

Brainstem compression

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Radiation-induced Late Toxicity

(CTCAE v3.0)

Asymptomatic MRI white matter changes (G1) = 5 patients

High grade late toxicity = 4 patients (all diagnosed with chordoma)

- optic pathway:

G4 (1 patient) – unilateral blindness

G3 (1 patient) – unilateral visual deficit, steroid

dependent

- neurologic: G3 (2 patients) –

symptomatic brain necrosis

Actuarial 5-year freedom from high-grade toxicity: 94%
