Conclusion:

There has been an increase in the use of upfront radiotherapy for sacral chordomas at our centre, though the patterns of care for clival and spinal chordomas have not changed. Primary resection still remains the treatment of choice for the latter two sites, likely because they are generally more amenable to resection than sacral chordomas. Reasons for the increase in radiotherapy utilisation for sacral chordomas are unclear, but might be hypothesised to be due to improved techniques for radiotherapy delivery.

Keywords: Chordoma, patterns of care
