    <abstract locale="en_US">Chordoma is a bone tumor that is resistant to radiotherapy, and few studies have been published on the concomitant use of radiotherapy in combination with hyperthermia in its treatment. We reported a chordoma patient treated with both radiotherapy and hyperthermia. The patient was a 74-year-old man with chordoma who underwent radiotherapy combined with hyperthermia due to his unwillingness to undergo surgery and responded very well clinically and imaging-wise without increasing in complications. Radiotherapy combined with hyperthermia improves the response to treatment (both clinically and in imaging) and does not increase the complications.</abstract>
