Bone sarcoma survival statistics

Survival

Survive bone sarcoma for 10 or more years, 2009-2013, England

 

Age

Age that bone sarcoma survival is highest, 2009-2013, England

 

Improvement

Bone sarcoma survival in the England has not changed in the last 25 years

 

84% of men survive bone sarcoma for at least one year, and this is predicted to fall to 62% surviving for five years or more, as shown by age-standardised Open a glossary item net survival for patients diagnosed with bone sarcoma during 2009-2013 in England.[1] Survival for women is similar, with 81% surviving for one year or more, and 62% predicted to survive for at least five years.

Five- and ten-year survival is predicted using an excess hazard statistical model
 

Bone sarcoma survival is similar at five and ten years after diagnosis. 55% of men and 54% of women are predicted to survive their disease for ten years or more, as shown by age-standardised net survival for patients diagnosed with bone sarcoma during 2009-2013 in England.[1]

Five-year survival for bone sarcoma is highest in younger men and women and decreases with increasing age. Five-year net survival in men ranges from 71% in 50-59 year-olds to 44% in 70-89 year-olds for patients diagnosed with bone sarcoma in England during 2009-2013.[1] In women, five-year survival ranges from 75% in 15-49 year olds to 38% in70-89 year olds.

Five-year relative survival for bone sarcoma in men in England (50%) is similar to the average for Europe (50%). Northern Ireland (58%) is also similar to the European average but Scotland (30%) is below the European average.[1] No five-year survival data is available for Wales. Across the European countries for which data is available, five-year relative survival in men ranges from 27% (Bulgaria) to 74% (Switzerland).[1] 

Five-year relative survival for bone sarcoma in women in England (52%) is similar to the average for Europe (56%). Wales (60%) and Northern Ireland (65%) are also  similar to the European average but Scotland (36%) is below the European average.[1] Across the European countries for which data is available, five-year relative survival in women ranges from 35% (Latvia) to 73% (The Netherlands).[1]

Bone sarcoma (C40-C41), Age-Standardised Five-Year Relative Survival, Adults (Aged 15+), European Countries, 2000-2007

Data consists of both observed and predicted 5-year relative survival. Where sufficient follow-up was not available for recently diagnosed patients the period approach was used to predict 5-year cohort survival.

Possible explanations for persistent international differences in survival include differences in cancer biology, use of diagnostic tests and screening, stage at diagnosis, access to high-quality care, and data collection practices.[1]
