Abstract:
Chordoma is a rare tumor with low to moderate malignancy. It is typically treated with surgical resection in the early stages. However, due to the slow growth and locally invasive biological characteristics of chordoma, patients are often diagnosed at an advanced stage, rendering them ineligible for surgery. This case report describes a 71-year-old male patient who experienced notable symptom relief after receiving single-agent anlotinib treatment for advanced thoracic chordoma. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria for solid tumors, imaging examinations indicated that the patient achieved a partial response (PR). These findings suggest that anlotinib has potential therapeutic value in the treatment of chordoma, primarily in managing symptoms and tumor progression. In this report, we retrospectively analyzed the patient's case data and discussed it in conjunction with relevant literature to provide new therapeutic strategies for clinicians facing similar patients.
Insights
Anlotinib offers potential relief for advanced chordoma patients ineligible for surgery. This targeted therapy demonstrated a partial response, managing symptoms and tumor progression in a thoracic chordoma case.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Medical Research
Background:
- Chordoma is a rare, low-to-moderate malignancy tumor.
- Early-stage chordoma is treated with surgical resection.
- Advanced-stage diagnosis often precludes surgery due to slow growth and local invasiveness.

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
