Time to and location of local and distant recurrence(s) were cataloged. Existing chordoma surveillance recommendations (National Comprehensive Cancer Network [NCCN], London and South East Sarcoma Network [LSESN], European Society for Medical Oncology [ESMO], Chordoma Global Consensus Group [CGCG]) were applied to our cohort to compare the number of recurrent patients and months of undiagnosed tumor growth between surveillances. These findings were used to inform the creation of a revised imaging surveillance protocol (MD Anderson Cancer Center Chordoma Imaging Protocol [MDACC-CIP]), presented here.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty-four patients with 79 local\/systemic recurrences met inclusion criteria. Mean age at diagnosis and follow-up time were 45 yr and 79 mo, respectively. The MDACC-CIP imaging protocol significantly reduced the time to diagnosis of recurrence compared with the LSESN and CGCG\/ESMO imaging protocols for surveillance of local disease with a cumulative\/average of 576\/16.9 (LSESN), 336\/9.8 (CGCG), and 170\/5.0 (MDACC-CIP) months of undetected growth, respectively. The NCCN and MDACC-CIP guidelines for distant metastatic surveillance identified a cumulative\/average of 65\/6.5 and 51\/5.1 mo of undetected growth, respectively, and were not significantly different.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The MDACC-CIP for skull base chordoma accounts for recurrence trends unique to this disease, including a higher rate of leptomeningeal spread than sacrococcygeal primaries, resulting in improved sensitivity and prompt
