Chordoma (Clival Chordoma)

Clival chordomas are tumors that are locally invasive and arise in the base of the skull.

Clival chordomas are best treated with maximal surgical removal followed by focused radiotherapy. Fortunately, the majority of chordomas can be removed via the nose using an endoscopic endonasal approach.  At the Brain Tumor Center (BTC), we have the world’s best chordoma tumor surgeons with the largest endonasal experiences treating clival chordomas. By incorporating cutting edge technology and instrumentation with proven surgical experience, we make chordoma surgery safer, less invasive and more effective.
