Background And Purpose
Method
Tumors in Type I (33 cases) showed limited dural penetration, while those in Type II (34 cases) had more serious dural penetration. Cox multivariate regression analysis was used to analyze risk factors affecting survival. Kaplan-Meier analysis measured overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). To determine the relationship between dural penetration and PDGFR-β signaling, expression of PDGFR-β, Akt, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) expression was compared using immunohistochemistry, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and Western blotting.
Conclusion
Clival chordomas have different degrees of dural penetration. Patients with chordomas with serious dural penetration have poorer prognosis. Higher expression of PDGFR-β is related to more serious dural penetration of clival chordomas.
Main results
Total resection was achieved in 9 cases in Type I and 11 in Type II. There were significant correlations between OS and dural penetration (P = 0.032) and age (P = 0.034). PFS correlated significantly with dural penetration (P = 0.022), gender (P = 0.001), and degree of resection (P = 0.001). Mean OS in Type I was significantly longer than in Type II (P = 0.046). Patients aged <55 years had longer OS than those aged ≥55 years (P = 0.004). Total resection was correlated with longer PFS (P = 0.011). Among patients with tumors totally resected, mean PFS in Type I was significantly longer than in Type II (P = 0.007). Expression of PDGFR-β in Type II was higher than in Type I.
