Adjuvant gamma knife surgery and image-guided, intensity-modulated radiation therapy for the treatment of sacral chordomas

ConclusionsWe confirmed that adjuvant radiotherapy improved RFS but not OS in sacral chordoma patients after surgery. Furthermore, favorable RFS and low adverse event rates were observed following IG-IMRT. Our results suggest that high dose IG-IMRT is an appropriate module of adjuvant radiotherapy for sacral chordoma patients.
