Prospective analysis of local tumour control, survival and treatment complications in 67 consecutive patients treated with fractionated photon and proton radiation for a chordoma or a chondrosarcoma of the base of the skull and of the cervical spine. ⋯ In base of skull chordomas and chondrosarcomas, the combined photon and proton therapy offers excellent chances of cure at the price of an acceptable toxicity. These results should be confirmed with a longer follow-up.
