Epidemiologic trend of mobile spine and sacrum chordoma: A National population-based study

Conclusion: Epidemiology characteristic of chordoma in Iran is similar to other studies; however, the total ASIR was lower and the incidence in sacrum is nearly twice respect to the mobile spine. While men affected by sacral chordoma in relatively older age, the female patients had higher mean age in case of mobile spine involvement. The survival rate of chordoma is significantly lower in comparison with other studies.
