In chordomas and chondrosarcomas of the skull base and cervical spine, combined photon and proton radiation therapy offers excellent chances of cure. In two thirds of the cases, relapses are located in the GTV. Maximum diameter, GTV, and age are prognostic indicators of local control. These results should be confirmed during a longer follow-up.

RT may be an option for the treatment of acromegaly in patients with MCAS when surgery is impossible and SA therapy is ineffective. However, although no bone sarcomatous transformation was observed within the radiation field in this series, this risk cannot be ruled out. As shown in this small series of severely affected patients, pegvisomant therapy may thus be useful to normalize IGF-I levels rapidly.
