  2. Chordoma treatment • Surgery – primary treatment • Goal - En bloc, Wide margin • Radiation • Inoperable/intralesional • Previous surgery • Recurrence • Chemotherapy • Salvage/palliation

  3. Surgical Summary • Wide margin – 57% (35-75) • Recurrence-free survival – 45% (40-67) • 5y – 62% (52-66) • 10y – 46% (33-52) • Survival • Tumor-related death – 26% (21-47) • 5y – 74% (54-97) • 10y – 53% (21-71) York 1999, Fourney 2005, Bergh 2000, Fuchs 2005, Boriani 2006, Hanna 2008, Schwab 2009, Ruggieri 2010, Stacchiotto 2010

  4. Radiation Summary • Photon Therapy • Resistant to conventional fractionation • Proton Therapy • 5y Recurrence – 10%1, 27%2, 32%3, • Carbon Therapy • 5y Recurrence – 12%4 • Factors • GTV, implants 1DeLaney 2009 2Wagner 2009 3Staab 2011 4Imai 2011

  5. Necrosis After SRS • 2m post- SRS • 4m post- SRS • L3 chordoma after single-fraction 2400 cGy SRS showing ghost outlines of epitheliod cells and extensive necrosis

  6. Single-Fraction Radiation • More irreparable damage to DNA • Endothelial apoptosis1 • Overcomes stem cell resistance2 1Garcia-Barros 2003 2Chang 2005

  7. Hypothesis • Single-fraction SRS can be safely administered as a treatment of chordomas in the mobile spine and sacrum with good short-term local control

  8. Methods • Study design: Retrospective review • Study population • Patients with chordomas of the mobile spine and sacrum treated between 2006 and 2010 • Inclusion criteria • Single-fraction SRS • Exclusion criteria • Follow-up less than 6 months

  9. Methods • 62F presented with odynophagia secondary to a C3 chordoma

  10. Methods • 73M presented with bowel incontinence and left foot numbness

  11. Methods • 59F presented with back pain and high-grade spinal cord compression secondary to chordoma metastasis to T7

  12. Methods • SRS • Inverse optimized treatment plan • Onboard orthogonal KV and cone beam imaging • Median prescribed dose – 2400 cGy (1800-2400 cGy) • Primary endpoint • Local tumor control • Secondary endpoint • Treatment-related toxicity (CTAE v.4)

  13. Methods • Stratification variables • Histologic subtype • Location • Size • Dose • Follow-up • Clinical data and serial MRIs obtained every 3-4 months • Data sources • Chart and imaging review

  14. Tumor Characteristics Tumor volume – 88cc (26-859cc) 2 Dedifferentiated Chordomas

  15. Treatment Characteristics V100 – median 95% (72-100%)

  16. Local Progression • 1 recurrence – 95% local control • 11 months after SRS, died of progressive systemic chordoma • 5 patients died from chordoma

  17. Case Example • 62F presented with odynophagia secondary to a C3 chordoma • Single-fraction 24 Gy with surgery planned 3 months after SRS • Patient elected to defer surgery and 3-year MRI shows decrease in tumor size

  18. Post-SRS Tumor Histology

  19. Toxicity • Grade 1 skin reaction (temporary erythema) • Grade 1 or 2 odynophagia (temporary) • Sciatic neuropathy (foot drop and neuropathic pain) • Tumor encased the sciatic nerve • Partial vocal cord paralysis (vocal cord augmentation)

  20. Limitations • Short follow-up • Heterogeneous group

  21. Conclusions • Single-fraction SRS can be safely used to treat patients with chordomas of the mobile spine and sacrum. • Single-fraction SRS provides good short-term tumor control. • Long term follow-up will be necessary in order to determine if SRS can be used as definitive chordoma therapy or as a neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment. • Single-fraction SRS represents a good treatment option in patients who cannot undergo wide-margin chordoma excision.
