| Description: |
Study Design Systematic review. Objectives The objective of this review paper was to summarize targeted molecular therapy options for spinal chordoma and chondrosarcoma, and to provide an update on the relevant clinical trials open for recruitment. Methods A systematic review of the current literature was performed, according to PRISMA guidelines, to summarize the latest developments in non-surgical molecular treatment options for low grade malignant primary spinal tumours. We also summarize those actively recruiting clinical trials based on clinicaltrials.gov. Results A total of 73 studies and completed clinical trials were reviewed. Twenty actively recruiting clinical trials (eight for chordoma and twelve for chondrosarcoma) were identified. Conclusions There is a strong need to find new therapeutic options to complement surgical resection and radiation therapy, which remain the cornerstone of management. Targeted therapies against molecular pathways show promise as compared to conventional chemotherapy. |
