How serious is Chondrosarcoma (Grade I) of femur bone?
Patient: hi im 20 yrs old 5'7 i45-150 pounds i jus recently had surgery on my right femur bone they found a tumor so they removed it so 3 weeks past nd i went to mount sanai yesterday and they found the name for it its called low grade level 1 chondrosarcoma is this good Doctor: Thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. Chondrosarcoma is bone tumour of younger population. If detected in early stage, survival is good. Early detection and surgical removal is the treatment of choice. Grade indicates severity. Grade 1 indicates low grade malignancy. So it has less chances of distal metastasis and local recurrence. So you had surgery and having grade 1 Chondrosarcoma,both of these favour good prognosis. So your Chondrosarcoma is having good life expectancy and five year survival rate.
