Prognostic factors for patients with chondrosarcoma: A survival analysis based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (1973-2012).

ABSTRACT: Current reports on prognostic factors for chondrosarcoma mainly involve patients in treatment centers. Few are based on multicenter or multi-eras. We analyzed existing data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to investigate the risk factors for survival outcomes. All patients with chondrosarcoma from 1973 to 2012 were identified. 3737 patients were eligible and included. In survival analysis, patient had good survival outcome if the patient was female, young, with localized stage, well grade, small tumor size, treated with surgery, while patient was male, old, with distant stage, undifferentiated grade, tumor size <50 mm, located in vertebral or pelvic bones, underwent radiation had bad survival outcome. Surgery types from having best survival outcomes to w
