Context: Treatment of Childhood Chordoma
There are only a few anecdotal reports of the use of cytotoxic chemotherapy after surgery alone or surgery plus radiation therapy. Treatment with ifosfamide/etoposide and vincristine/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide was beneficial in some reports.[19,20] The role for chemotherapy in the treatment of this disease is uncertain.
Recurrences are usually local but can include distant metastases to the lungs or bone.
