Chondrosarcoma, a rare cancer that develops from cartilage cells,
occurs mainly in the bones but can also appear in the soft tissue
of the pelvis, hip and shoulder. Unfortunately, these cancers are
highly resistant to both chemotherapy and radiation, and no
successful adjuvant therapies currently exist. As such, surgical
treatment and resection remain the mainstays of management for
patients with these tumors. This concise text is a comprehensive
presentation of the current knowledge regarding the development,
diagnosis and management of chondrosarcomas. Part I discusses
pathology, molecular biology and imaging features of
chondrosarcomas. The different types of skeletal and extraskeletal
tumors are presented in detail in part II, including conventional
and secondary tumors. Management approaches are outlined and
described in part III - limb salvage surgery is the most common,
and although less effective, radiation and chemotherapy are
indicated in certain cases. Part IV examines the future of
chondrosarcoma management and development of novel adjuvant
therapies, as well as the relationship of this disease to similar
types (e.g., chordoma). Bringing together the most up-to-date
information on this rare cancer, Chondrosarcoma will be a valuable
resource for orthopedic oncologists, researchers and all medical
professionals treating these challenging tumors.
