Quality of life in chordoma survivors: results from the Chordoma Foundation Survivorship Survey

The authors' findings suggest that younger survivors, female survivors, and survivors currently undergoing treatment for chordoma are at high risk for adverse QOL outcomes. Additionally, although nearly half of the participants reported a FCR, very few reported having adequate emotional/cognitive care. These findings may be useful in identifying specific groups of chordoma survivors vulnerable to QOL challenges and bring to light the need to expand care to meet the QOL needs for these patients.
