Abstract
- Background/Aims: Primary chordomas, rare cancers arising from the notochord remnants, are extremely rare in the pediatric population. This study examined a large cohort of primary chordoma patients to determine factors impacting prognosis and survival. Methods: Demographic and clinical data on 1,358 primary chordoma patients (86 pediatric patients ≤19 years of age and 1,272 adult patients ≥20 years of age) were abstracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result (SEER) database (1973-2011). Results: Pediatric primary chordomas present most often as small tumors Conclusions: Pediatric primary chordomas present most often as small tumors
