Özet
Cranial chordomas are uncommon tumors accounting for less than 1% of all intracranial neoplasms. Although they are slowly growing, rarely metastasizing tumors, cranial chordomas are challenging to treat due to their critical location, invasive nature and aggressive recurrence. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the role of conventional irradiation in the treatment of clival chordomas with overt residual disease after incomplete surgery.
