Chondrosarcoma: Radiotherapy

Chondrosarcoma is not only resistant to chemotherapy but also responds poorly to radiotherapy (radiation therapy).

However, radiatio (in this case, proton therapy) may be considered in the following cases:

  • Inoperable chondrosarcoma
  • Chondrosarcoma was removed not far in the healthy.

Thus, local tumor control can be achieved in approximately 30-50% of cases over a period of three to five years.
