The chondrosarcoma, a cartilage-forming bone tumor, presents significant clinical challenges due to its resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Surgical excision remains the primary treatment, but high-grade chondrosarcomas are prone to recurrence and metastasis, necessitating the identification of reliable biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. This review explores the genetic alterations and molecular pathways involved in chondrosarcoma pathogenesis. These markers show promise in distinguishing between benign enchondromas and malignant chondrosarcomas, assessing tumor aggressiveness, and guiding treatment. While these advancements offer hope for more personalized and targeted therapeutic strategies, further clinical validation of these biomarkers is essential to improve prognostic accuracy and patient outcomes in chondrosarcoma management.
