Proton radiation therapy for chordomas and chondrosarcomas of the skull base.
OBJECT Local tumor control, patient survival, and treatment failure outcomes were analyzed to assess treatment efficacy in 58 patients in whom fractionated proton radiation therapy (RT) was administered for skull base chordomas and chondrosarcomas. METHODS Between March 1992 and January 1998, a total of 58 patients who could be evaluated were treated for skull base tumors, 33 for chordoma and...
متن کاملA Prospective Outcomes Study of Proton Therapy for Chordomas and Chondrosarcomas of the Spine.
PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of definitive or adjuvant external beam proton therapy on survival in patients with chordomas and chondrosarcomas of the spine. METHODS AND MATERIALS Between March 2007 and May 2013, 51 patients with a median age of 58 years (range, 22-83 years) with chordoma (n=34) or chondrosarcomas (n=17) of the sacrum (n=21), the cervical spine (n=20), and the thoraco...
متن کاملQuality of life in patients with chordomas/chondrosarcomas during treatment with proton beam therapy
INTRODUCTION Health-related quality of life (HQL) parameters have never been tested in patients having chondromas/chondrosarcomas who are being treated with protons. The aim of this study was to document changes in HQL of chordoma/chondrosarcoma patients treated with proton beam radiotherapy. Treatments commenced in September 2011 at CNAO, and HQL studies were initiated in January 2012 for all ...
متن کاملProton beam therapy in the management of skull base chordomas: systematic review of indications, outcomes, and implications for neurosurgeons.
BACKGROUND Chordomas are rare tumours affecting the skull base. There is currently no clear consensus on the post-surgical radiation treatments that should be used after maximal tumour resection. However, high-dose proton beam therapy is an accepted option for post-operative radiotherapy to maximise local control, and in the UK, National Health Service approval for funding abroad is granted for...
متن کاملPreliminary Result of Hyperfractionated High-Dose Proton Beam Radiotherapy for Pediatric Skull Base Chordomas
Objective: Proton beam therapy (PBT) may provide good local control for skull base chordoma and reduced toxicities, especially for pediatric patients. Methods: We evaluated the efficacy and safety of hyperfractionated high-dose PBT in6 pediatric patients with newly-diagnosed skull basechordoma who were treated with PBT at our institute from 2011 to 2015. The patients were 5 males and one female...
