What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma?
Arming yourself with essential information is one of your best defenses against a progressive disease.
Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is an extremely rare and aggressive form of chondrosarcoma — a bone cancer arising from cartilage cells. About two-thirds of mesenchymal chondrosarcomas occur in the bones of the spine, ribs, or jaw. Other cases of this malignant disease develop in soft tissues that support, connect, or surround organs. Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma often metastasizes (spreads) to other areas of the body and can cause life-threatening complications.
Mesenchymal Chondrosarcomas We Treat at New Hope Unlimited
We offer treatments for the two types of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma:
Skeletal Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma
Involves the bones of the body.
Extraskeletal Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma
Involves the soft tissues of the body.
Symptoms of Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma
Signs of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma depend on the exact location and progression of the tumor. Most mesenchymal chondrosarcomas arise in the bones and cause:
- Persistent bone pain
- Swelling or a palpable mass
- Pressure around the mass
- Fracture due to weakened bone
Because this cancer has vague symptoms, it is recommended to visit your doctor for regular check-ups to catch the disease early. If something is amiss with the way your body functions, consult your doctor right away.
Causes of Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma
Currently, the exact cause of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is unknown, and no identifiable risk factors for mesenchymal chondrosarcoma have been discovered. However, there is a slight predisposition toward the female gender, although males can also develop this malignancy.
Diagnostic Tests for Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma
Early detection is key to improving your prognosis and life expectancy. To accurately diagnose mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, your doctor may order the following procedures:
- Evaluation of medical history
- Complete physical examination
- Bone x-rays
- Computed tomography (CT) scans
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans
- Positron emission tomography (PET) scans
- Sample tissue removal or biopsy, including:
- Fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of the tumor
- Core biopsy of the tumor
- Open biopsy of the tumor
