Disregarding the widely used division of skull base into anterior and lateral, since the skull
base should be conceived as a single anatomic structure, it was to our convenience to group …

Abstract Purpose of Review Chordoma are rare tumours of the axial skeleton which occur
most often at the base of the skull and in the sacrum. Although chordoma are generally slow …

Purpose Patients with skull base chordoma and chondrosarcoma have different prognoses
and are not readily differentiated preoperatively on imaging. Multiparametric magnetic …

Simple Summary In this study, we created a novel MRI-based machine learning model to
differentiate skull base chordoma and chondrosarcoma with multiparametric signatures …

Objective Skull base chondrosarcoma is a rare tumour usually treated by surgery and proton
therapy. However, as mortality rate is very low and treatment complications are frequent, a …

Introduction Primary chordomas and chondrosarcomas of the skull base are difficult tumours
to treat successfully. Despite advances in surgical techniques, a gross total resection is often …

OBJECTIVE The endoscopic endonasal approach for treating primary skull base
malignancies involving the clivus is a formidable task. The authors hypothesized that tumor …

The skull base is a complex anatomical region that harbors many important neurovascular
structures in a relatively confined space. The pathology that can develop at this site is varied …

Objective: Classical chondrosarcoma has poor sensitivity to chemotherapy and
radiotherapy, and surgical resection is the only effective treatment. Therefore, development …

BACKGROUND: Current treatment guidelines for clival chordomas recommend surgical
resection followed by high-dose radiotherapy (RT). However, in patients in whom gross total …
