Howard, I don't have anything to reference concerning radiotherapy in my office, but I might be able to see what I can get elsewhere. Meanwhile, just FYI, the yellow circle is the chordoma. The green shows that it does appear to be approaching or eminating from the pons which would be unusual. As far as I know, it is usually mostly in the boney structures around the spinal cord.
