Abstract: Sacrococcygeal chordomas have high recurrence rates and are challenging to treat.In this phase II prospective, randomized, stratified trial, the safety and feasibility of hypofractionated ion radiation therapy were investigated. The primary focus was monitored through the incidence of Grade 3-5 NCI-CTC-AE toxicity. Secondary endpoints included local progression-free (LPFS) and overall survival (OS).The study enrolled 82 patients with primary (87 %) and recurrent (13 %) inoperable or incompletely resected sacral chordomas from January 2013 to July 2022, divided equally into proton therapy (Arm A) and carbon ion beam therapy (Arm B) groups, each receiving a total dose of 64 Gy (RBE) in 16 fractions, 5-6 fractions per week. Overall 74 % of patients received no previous surgery and 66 % of tumors were confirmed by a brachyury staining. The mean and median Gross Tumor Volume at the time of treatment (GTV) was 407 ml and 185 ml, respectively. The median follow-up of the surviving patients was 44.7 months, and the 2-year and 4-year OS rates were 96 % and 81 %, respectively. Factors such as smaller GTV and younger age trended towards better OS. The LPFS after 2-year and 4-year was 84 % and 70 %, respectively. Male gender emerged as a significant predictor of LPFS. There was no significant difference between the treatment groups. We observed five grade IV wound healing disorders (6 %).The initial response rates were promising; however local control was not sustained. More comparative research on fractionation schemes is essential to refine treatment approaches for inoperable sacral chordoma.
