Dosimetric advantages of proton beam therapy compared to intensity-modulated radiation therapy for retroperitoneal chordoma
Abstract
Retroperitoneal chordomas are exceedingly rare and account for less than 5% of all primary bone malignancies. Their etiology remains unknown. We report a rare case of an extravertebral chordoma of the retroperitoneum in a 71-year-old man treated with surgical resection and post-operative spot-scanning proton beam therapy.
