Summary

Improved local control of chordoma initially treated with surgery or not, thanks to adjuvant radiotherapy oriented by conventional imaging Computed Tomography /Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CT / MRI) and guided by the \[18Fluor\] (\[18F\]) Fluoroazomycin Arabinofuranoside (FAZA) Positron Emission Tomography / Computed Tomography (PET / CT) to target the radioresistant hypoxic cells.

Conditions

  • Skull Base Chordoma
  • Vertebral Chordoma

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Surgery

The operative approach and operating time will be performed according to neurosurgical practices (for head and neck) or surgical orthopaedic team (for sacrum) depending on the location, the extension and the relationship of the lesion to critical structures. The surgery can be macroscopically complete or incomplete.

RADIATION

Protontherapy

Radiotherapy will be done with the Cyclotron, for a total dose of 78 Gray Relative Biological Effective (Gy RBE) - 70 Gy RBE to the tumor bed and macroscopic volume and 8 Gy RBE to the the hypoxic component volume, delivered in 39 fractions spread over 67 days.

DRUG

18F FAZA

FAZA PET/CT, in order to target the hypoxic zones
