Patient Outcome at Long-term Follow-up after Aggressive Microsurgical Resection of Cranial Base Chondrosarcomas

Abstract

Cranial base chondrosarcomas can be managed well by complete surgical resection or by a combination of surgery and radiotherapy. The study cannot comment about the efficacy of radiotherapy. Approximately half of the patients survived without recurrence at long-term follow-up (>132 mo). The functional status of the surviving patients was excellent at follow-up.
