Unfortunately, these cancers are highly resistant to both chemotherapy and radiation, and no successful adjuvant therapies currently exist. As such, surgical treatment and resection remain the mainstays of management for patients with these tumors.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis concise text is a comprehensive presentation of the current knowledge regarding the development, diagnosis and management of chondrosarcomas. Part I discusses pathology, molecular biology and imaging features of chondrosarcomas. The different types of skeletal and extraskeletal tumors are presented in detail in part II, including conventional and secondary tumors. Management approaches are outlined and described in part III - limb salvage surgery is the most common, and although less effective, radiation and chemotherapy are indicated in certain cases. Part IV examines the future of chondrosarcoma management and development of novel adjuvant therapies, as well as the relationship of this disease to similar types (e.g., chordoma).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e Bringing together the most up-to-date information on this rare cancer, \u003ci\u003eChondrosarcoma\u003c\/i\u003e will be a valuable resource for orthopedic oncologists, researchers and all medical professionals treating these challenging tumors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I   Biology of   Chondrosarcoma       1   Pathology   of Chondrosarcoma       2   Advances   in the Molecular Biology of Chondrosarcoma       3   Imaging Features of   Chondrosarcoma       Part II           4   Chondrosarcomas:   Conventional and Secondary        5   Primary   Soft Tissue Chondrosarcoma       Part III   Management of   Chondrosarcoma       6   Chondrosarcoma   of the Axial Skeleton        7   Chondrosarcoma   of the Appendicular Skeleton       8   Chondrosarcoma   of the Hand       9   Chondrosarcoma   of the  Clavicle       10   Radiation   Therapy for Chondrosarcoma       11   Systemic   Therapy for Chondrosarcoma       12   Vascular   Issues in Complex Surgical Resection of Chondrosarcoma       Part IV   The Future of   Chondrosarcoma Research and Treatment       13   The   Future of Chondrosarcoma Research and Treatment","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49415634125143,"sku":"9783030745714","price":58.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783030745714.jpg?v=1730527593","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/chondrosarcoma-biology-and-clinical-management-9783030745714","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
