自1997年到1986年,台大醫院治療了19個軟骨肉瘤的病人,其中15人為男性,4人為女性,所有的病例都依其性別、年齡、臨床症狀、解剖位置、腫瘤的病理種類、手術方法等加以分析、研究。肉瘤之轉移與復發也加以詳細記錄,病人的死因與預後也詳例。此腫瘤的五年存活率為40%,此結果並與先前文獻報告者加以比較,因手術是消除此一腫瘤的唯一方法,我們對此一惡性腫瘤的治療應採取更積極的態度以求能得到更好的治療結果。
From 1977 to 1986, we treated 19 cases of chondrosarcoma. Among them, 15 were males and 4 females. All of the cases were reviewed and evaluated retrospectively in the following categories: sex, age, clinical mani-festations, site, pathological type of the tumors, the operative procedures adopted and their results. Metastasis and recurrences were documented. Casues of death were sought and prognosis were defined. The 5 year survival rate was 40%. The result was compared with the previous reports. Since surgery is the only effective procedure to eradicate the tumor, our attitudes in the treatment of the tumor should be more aggressive to obtain a better results.
