Surgical management of skull base and spinal chordomas: A case series with comprehensive review of the literature
Our results show the best long-term survival outcomes for chordoma patients undergoing GTR of tumor tissue. Higher postoperative neurological function was significantly associated with OS, highlighting the importance of maximal but safe total tumor resection. Moreover, adjuvant RT improved long-term survival for patients that underwent STR but had no effect on survival outcomes for patients that underwent GTR.
