1. Wide resection
The mainstay of treatment, involving complete removal of the tumor with a margin of healthy tissue; prognosis is favorable in low-grade disease.
2. Microwave ablation combined with curettage
A minimally invasive approach for low-grade tumors, in which microwave ablation devitalizes the lesion followed by curettage to preserve limb function.
3. 3D-printed prosthetic reconstruction
Customized implants for anatomically complex sites (e.g., pelvis and sacrum) to enable precision reconstruction and functional restoration.
4. En bloc resection
A definitive procedure for spinal chondrosarcoma, aiming for microscopically negative margins through en bloc tumor removal.
5. Multidisciplinary team-based care
Integration of multi-specialty expertise to develop individualized strategies for complex cases.
6. Preoperative adjunctive therapy
Exploration of neoadjuvant sarcoma strategies such as immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy to improve efficacy.
7. Minimally invasive limb-sparing surgery
Applied to selected low-grade extremity tumors, combining microwave ablation and curettage to preserve joint function.
8. Postoperative functional reconstruction
Bone cement augmentation, internal fixation, or 3D-printed prosthetic replacement to restore skeletal stability.
9. Preoperative embolization
Embolization reduces intraoperative bleeding for large tumors and improves the safety of pelvic and sacral procedures.
Jinshazhou Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine emphasizes that chondrosarcoma is relatively insensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and complete surgical resection remains the primary curative approach. Early diagnosis and standardized management are essential, as delayed treatment may result in irreversible functional loss. After confirmation, individualized surgical planning should be initiated promptly, and advances in 3D printing and minimally invasive techniques continue to improve prognosis.
