Chondrosarcomas are frequently aggressive, understanding the transcriptional changes associated with progression may help in developing new treatments. Here, the authors show that HIF-2α is increased in expression on progression and pharmacological inhibition of the protein together with chemotherapy is a useful strategy for controlling tumour growth in mice.
