Cytogenetics of Chordomas
Chordomas are a rare tumor, thought to arise from neoplastic transformation of embryonic notochordal rests. 1 The genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the development of chordoma are not well understood….
Molecular Imaging of Chordomas
Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide exquisite anatomical detail that can help to differentiate chordoma from other tumors, as discussed in Chapter 10. The strength of molecular…
