Tumor cells seeding in biopsy tracts after open biopsy in three patients with chondrosarcoma—Case reports
The three presented cases demonstrate that tumor cell seeding occurs in biopsy tracts after an open biopsy in chondrosarcoma cases. Whether the risk of developing LR from these tumor cells differs between open and minimally invasive biopsy techniques or is affected by the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy for other entities, requires larger cohorts and longer periods of follow-up.
