CLYDE AGAINST CHORDOMA

JOIN CLYDEY THIS SEPTEMBER AS HE WAGES WAR ON CANCER, RAISING MUCH NEEDED FUNDS FOR THE CHORDOMA FOUNDATION.

Over the past decade, The Chordoma Foundation has created a global movement of patients, families, doctors, and researchers working together to improve the odds for everyone affected by this disease. During that time

chordoma research has advanced dramatically, from knowing virtually nothing about the disease to 7 promising drugs entering clinical trials.

They have built a network of more than 400 chordoma specialists across the world, including nearly every leading chordoma treatment team in the U.S. and Europe, and produced clinical guidelines for diagnosing and treating chordoma.

The Chordoma Foundation has become a trusted resource for thousands of chordoma patients and their caregivers across the world, with a growing suite of services designed to meet the unique needs of the chordoma community.

But what gives them the most hope is that the ground they've gained thus far has made it possible for patients to begin benefitting from advances in research in a matter of years rather than decades.

Chordoma is a slow growing cancer of tissue found inside the spine. Chordoma can happen anywhere along the spine. It is most often found near the tailbone (called a sacral tumor) or where the spine meets the skull (called a clival tumor).

Chordomas form from the left over cells that were important in the development of the spine before birth. These cells are called 'notochord' cells. When the notochord cells don’t disappear after birth, they can turn into chordomas.

Chordomas grow very slowly. Many people don’t notice any change in their bodies for years. When they do start to have symptoms, it can take a while for the chordoma to be discovered and diagnosed.
