      abstract = {Chondrosarcoma, a rare cancer that develops from cartilage  cells, occurs mainly in the bones but can also appear in  the soft tissue of the pelvis, hip and shoulder.  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. This 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). Bringing together the most  up-to-date information on this rare cancer, Chondrosarcoma  will be a valuable resource for orthopedic oncologists,  researchers and all medical professionals treating these  challenging tumors.},
