Chordoma Symptoms & Treatment

Chordoma is a rare type of cancer that occurs in the bones of the skull and spine. Chordomas develop from cells that are “left behind” as the spinal cord develops. Chordomas can occur at any place along the spinal cord. When they occur in the brain, they are referred to as brain tumors, although they are not derived from brain tissue. Chordomas constitute less than one percent of all primary brain tumors.
