44 There was also a significant decrease in the delivered dose of Adriamycin by the fourth cycle (from 60 to 51 mg/m2). Patients with low- to intermediate-grade tumors responded less frequently to MAID (18%) than to AD (29%). A univariate analysis demonstrated a significant survival advantage for the two-drug arm AD in patients greater than 50 years old and those with lowto intermediate-grade tumors. This advantage for AD has been hypothesized to be due to the lower dose intensity of Adriamycin in the three-drug arm and to the fact that patients who failed on the AD arm subsequently received ifosfamide, which provided a secondary benefit.

Curettage, burr drilling, and, in most cases, the use of adjuvant liquid nitrogen should be considered. Intermediate- and high-grade chondrosarcomas, on the other hand, are treated surgically by wide resection. The use of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy for chondrosarcomas is controversial. Low- and intermediate-grade chondrosarcomas A 29 respond poorly to chemotherapy. Although there are few data on the efficacy of chemotherapy in the treatment of high-grade chondrosarcomas, it should be considered in any young patient with a high-grade tumor.
