Revisiting the Role of Radiation Therapy in Chondrosarcoma: A National Cancer Database Study.

Conclusions: Despite the suggested radioresistance of CS, modern radiotherapies may present a treatment option for certain patients. Our results support a role for high-dose, advanced radiation therapies in selected high-risk CS patients with tumors in surgically challenging locations or unplanned positive margins. While there is an associated survival rate benefit, further, prospective studies are needed for validation. PMID: 31736653 [PubMed]
