Chondrosarcomas of the Cervical and Cervicothoracic Spine

Abstract

For CHS at the CCT region, intralesional piecemeal resection has a poor prognosis and should be avoided. Oncologically, en-bloc resection remains the best form of disease management and should be the primary treatment of choice. For cases in which an uncontaminated en-bloc resection could not be achieved, the extracapsular piecemeal resection with adjuvant therapy including local chemotherapy and cyberknife radiotherapy is an effective and achievable option.
