Research Paper: 20-year Outcomes of Patients with Chordoma Treated at Johns Hopkins

Daniel Lubelski, neurosurgeon and director of spine tumor neurosurgery, recaps a paper that reviewed the 20-year outcomes of patients with chordoma of the spine and sacrum who were treated at Johns Hopkins. The study looked at 101 patients and found predictors of local recurrence and overall survival. In addition to the surgical team, the presence of multidisciplinary care and innovative research studies factored positively in outcomes. #chordoma #johnshopkins
