Space-Making Particle Therapy with Surgical Spacer Placement in Patients with Sacral Chordoma

We developed space-making particle therapy with surgical spacer placement and treated sacral chordoma using Gore-Tex sheets as the spacer. Space-making particle therapy showed improvement in the dose-volume histogram after spacer placement, low recurrence rate, good survival rate, and low incidence of side effects.
