Age at diagnosis, tumor size and disease stage can influence conditional survival for patients with chordoma. The HR of different factors will change over the survival time. Therefore, understanding the changing risk profile and conditional 5-year DSS of chordoma is critical for accurate clinical treatment guidance.
