Chondrosarcoma is a unique kind of tumor that originates from the cartilage-producing neoplastic mesenchymal cells and appears in both the appendicular and atlantoaxial skeleton. It is the second most prevalent neoplastic bone tumor, with an occurrence of 0.79/100,000/year. The biological presentation of this cancer fluctuates extensively, depending on the grade and anatomical location. Since chondrosarcoma is predominantly resistant to conventional chemo- and radiation therapy, surgical resection remains the sole curative treatment, although at present new treatment modalities are under investigation.
软骨肉瘤是一种独特的肿瘤，起源于产生软骨的肿瘤性间充质细胞，可出现在四肢骨骼和寰枢椎骨骼中。它是第二常见的原发性骨肿瘤，年发病率为0.79/10万。这种癌症的生物学表现差异很大，取决于分级和解剖位置。由于软骨肉瘤主要对传统的化疗和放疗耐药，手术切除仍然是唯一的治愈性治疗方法，尽管目前正在研究新的治疗方式。
