The treatment of large extraskeletal chondrosarcoma of the leg: comparison of IMRT and conformal radiotherapy techniques

摘要

Extraskeletal chondrosarcoma of the leg is a rare, malignant neoplasm with very few cases having been reported in the literature. A case is presented that illustrates the treatment of this malignancy, compares IMRT and conformal radiotherapy techniques, discusses treatment options of the two techniques and their planning time, and assesses the efficacy of using IMRT in other clinical applications. The advantages of IMRT for this difficult clinical application are demonstrated.
