Chondrosarcoma

Chondrosarcoma is a type of cancer that primarily forms in cartilage, the flexible tissue found in joints and other areas of the body. It often occurs in the bones of the pelvis, legs, and arms. This cancer tends to grow slowly and can vary in aggressiveness. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, or discomfort in the affected area. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs, followed by a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer cells. Treatment usually involves surgery to remove the tumor, and in some cases, radiation or chemotherapy may be considered.
