Patient's question:
My second aunt has been hospitalized for a week due to illness. She has a cartilage chondrosarcoma in her right buttock, and the tumor is quite large, about the size of a bean, growing inside. Currently, she is taking medication at the hospital to reduce inflammation. However, I don't think her condition is improving. How should the cartilage chondrosarcoma in the right buttock be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello! This tumor is a benign tumor, so it is mainly determined based on specific circumstances. If the symptoms are relatively obvious, physical therapy is likely to be more effective, as this condition is usually associated with aseptic issues. Of course, if there is inflammation, specific anti-inflammatory injections may be administered. Generally, in such cases, direct surgical removal is often the recommended approach.
