Chondrosarcoma is a type of cancer that develops in the cartilage, which is the flexible tissue found in joints and other parts of the body. This tumor can occur in various locations, including the bones of the pelvis, legs, and arms. It is more common in adults and can grow slowly or aggressively, depending on the specific subtype. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs, followed by a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer cells. Treatment often includes surgery to remove the tumor, and in some cases, radiation therapy may be used. Early detection is important for better outcomes.
