Is the cure rate of chondrosarcoma high

summary

Chondrosarcoma is one of the common malignant bone tumors, which occurs in the medullary cavity for the central type, occurs in the periosteum for the periosteum type, and a small number can occur in soft tissue, tumors, mainly in the limbs, long bones in the pelvis, can also be seen in the vertebrae, sacrum, clavicle, scapula and foot bone. This disease is divided into primary and secondary two kinds, the latter can be from chondroma, osteochondroma malignant transformation, which is one of the reasons for the relatively late age of onset. This disease is common in adults, rare in age below thirty, and incidence rate increases gradually after 35 years old. Let's take a look at the following.

Is the cure rate of chondrosarcoma high

First, there are often scattered gravel calcifications in the forest, but they are less and smaller than chondrosarcoma, with more bone cortex, intact, and no tumor soft tissue mass. Osteochondroma is a kind of bony protrusion attached to the metaphysis, which has various shapes. If the cartilage cap is thick, it can also be seen that there is vegetable like calcification shadow at the end of the tumor. In chondrosarcoma secondary to osteochondroma, the cartilage cap is thicker and forms a soft tissue mass.

Second, the most effective treatment for sarcoma is surgical resection. After definite diagnosis, local mass resection, segmental resection or amputation should be considered according to the specific situation. In most cases of chondrosarcoma, complete local excision should be performed, and amputation or joint amputation should be performed in the patients with recurrence or high primary malignancy and rapid development.

Third, osteosarcoma is easy to be confused with central chondrosarcoma, especially when there is no calcification in chondrosarcoma, it is similar to osteolytic osteosarcoma, but it can be distinguished if osteosarcoma has characteristic tumor recurrence and significant periosteal reaction. Primary chondrosarcoma is more common in young people and occurs in the long bones of limbs.

matters needing attention

Then the growth of chondrosarcoma is slow, and local recurrence and metastasis can occur ten years after operation. Therefore, the follow-up time of chondrosarcoma should be smoother than that of other spondylitis attacks. The follow-up time should not be less than three years. The five-year survival rate of chondrosarcoma is 78%, 53% and 22% respectively.
