          • chondrosarcomas are resistant to chemotherapy and radiation
    • Operative
      • intra-lesional curettage
        • indications
          • Grade 1 lesions in the extremities (minimal rate of metastasis)
          • treatment of grade 1 lesions located in the pelvis or axial skeleton is controversial (higher rate of local recurrence and metastasis)
            • most authors recommend wide excision of all chondrosarcomas (even grade 1) if located in the pelvis
        • technique
          • curettage, high-speed burring, and adjuvant treatment with subsequent packing of the defect, with internal fixation as needed
            • common adjuvants include cryotherapy, liquid nitrogen, argon beam, phenol, ethanol, and hydrogen peroxide
      • wide surgical excision combined with multi-agent chemotherapy
        • indications
          • mesenchymal chondrosarcoma
            • may also respond to radiation
          • possible role for chemotherapy in dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma
