Can chondrosarcoma in the hip and pelvis be treated with proton radiation therapy?
My fiance is in Jacksonville Florida at this time receiving treatment for Chondrosarcoma of the Pelvis (left side) , he had his first treatment today. He has a very large tumor filling his entire left pelvis. The proton radiation is preferred over conventional radiation because they can give a higher dose related to the fact that the proton radiation is much more precise, it was explained to us that the proton radiation is like using a laser pen light compared to the old type of flashlight with a wider beam.
