Approximately 0.088 chordomas per 100,000 persons are newly diagnosed in the US each year, with cranial location being the most common, followed by sacral and spinal. Incidence increases with age, and men are at a significantly higher risk than women. This investigation represents the largest population-based epidemiologic study of chordomas in the US.
