Specific treatment for chondrosarcoma will be determined by your physician based on:
- your age, overall health, and medical history
- extent of the disease
- your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, and therapies
- expectation for the course of the disease
- your opinion or preference
The goal for treatment of chondrosarcoma is to remove the mass and reduce the likelihood that it will return. Close follow-up with your physician may be necessary. Treatment may include:
- surgery (to remove the tumor)
- physical therapy (to regain strength and use of the affected area after surgery)
- chemotherapy Chemotherapy, although is not the primary treatment, may be required if the cancer has spread to other areas of the body.
