Purpose: To critically review the clinical factors, dosimetry, and their correlation with early outcomes in patients with chordomas and chondrosarcomas treated with pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton beam therapy (PBT).
Methods And Materials: Consecutive 64 patients diagnosed with chordoma or chondrosarcoma treated at our center were studied. Patient, tumor, and treatment-related factors including dosimetry were captured.

Purpose: Morphological magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) features are used in combination with histology for diagnosis and treatment selection of primary bone neoplasms. Isolated functional MRI parameters have shown potential in diagnosis. Our goal is to facilitate diagnosis of primary bone neoplasms of the skull base, mobile spine and sacrum, by a comprehensive approach, combining morphological and functional imaging parameters.

Purpose: Resection of sacral neoplasms such as chordoma and chondrosarcoma with subsequent reconstruction of large soft tissue defects is a complex multidisciplinary process. Radiotherapy and prior abdominal surgery play a role in reconstructive planning; however, there is no consensus on how to maximize outcomes. In this study, we present our institution's experience with the reconstructive surgical management of this unique patient population.

Introduction: chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary malignant tumor, constitutes approximately one quarter of all primary bone sarcomas. Surgical margins in pelvic chondrosarcoma have a direct impact as a prognostic factor, both on overall survival and on recurrence-free survival of this disease.
Objectives: to analyze the impact of surgical margins as a prognostic factor in pelvic chondrosarcoma.
