What are the risk factors for Chordoid glioma?

The exact cause of chordoid glioma is unknown, but some risk factors may include:

• Age: Chordoid gliomas are most commonly found in adults between the ages of 30 and 50.

• Gender: Chordoid gliomas are more common in women than in men.

• Location: Chordoid gliomas are most commonly found in the third ventricle of the brain.

• Genetics: Certain genetic mutations may increase the risk of developing a chordoid glioma.

Is there a cure/medications for Chordoid glioma?

At this time, there is no known cure for chordoid glioma. Treatment typically involves surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible, followed by radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy. Depending on the size and location of the tumor, other treatments such as stereotactic radiosurgery may be used.
