My granddaughter was diagnosed in July of 2002 with this cancer. At that time there was no information available on the internet. This group was established to provide that information and offer love and support to those who suffer with this terrible disease.

Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is cancer of the cartilage. Mesenchyme are embryonic cells from which cartilage are formed. Chondrosarcoma is a malignant tumor originating from connective tissue. Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a special variant of chondrosarcoma, and is much more rare.
