Pediatric Chordomas: A Population-Based Clinical Outcome Study Involving 86 Patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result (SEER) Database (1973-2011)

This study examined a large cohort of primary chordoma patients to determine factors impacting prognosis and survival. Methods: Demographic and clinical data on 1,358 primary chordoma patients (86 pediatric patients ≤19 years of age and 1,272 adult patients ≥20 years of age) were abstracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result (SEER) database (1973-2011).
