Intervention

The only intervention that has been shown to be effective in these tumors is a surgical approach. Neither radiation therapy nor chemotherapy has been proven effective.

Treatment options for adamantinoma are surgical and include either marginal or en bloc resection. Marginal resection of the tumor has been shown to be effective in less than one half of the cases studied; however, en bloc resection generally prevents local recurrence of the tumor.
