How many children and teens are diagnosed with osteosarcoma?

⁃ Osteosarcoma makes up 2% of all cancers in children ages 0 to 14 and 3%

of all cancers in teens ages 15 to 19. It is most often diagnosed between the ages
of 10 and 30, with most of these diagnoses occurring in teens. However,
osteosarcoma can be diagnosed at any age, including in older adults. Around 10% of
osteosarcoma is diagnosed in people over age 60.

What is the survival rate for children and teens with osteosarcoma?

⁃ It is important to remember that statistics on the survival rates for

children and teens with osteosarcoma are only an estimate. They cannot tell an
individual person if cancer will or will not shorten their life. Instead, these
statistics describe trends in groups of people previously diagnosed with the same
disease, including specific stages of the disease.

⁃ The 5-year relative survival rate for children ages 0 to 14 with

osteosarcoma is 69%. For teens ages 15 to 19, the 5-year relative survival rate is
67%.

⁃ The survival rates for osteosarcoma vary based on several factors.

These include the stage of cancer, a person’s age and general health, and how well
the treatment plan works. Other factors that can affect outcomes include the type
and subtype of the cancer.

⁃ If osteosarcoma is diagnosed and treated before it has spread outside

the area where it started, the 5-year relative survival rate for people of all ages
is 76%. If the cancer has spread outside of the bones and into surrounding tissues
or organs and/or the regional lymph nodes, the 5-year relative survival rate is
64%. If the cancer has spread to distant parts of the body, the 5-year relative
survival rate is 24%.

Cancer cases recorded in malaysia

⁃ Overall, there were 48,639 new cancer cases recorded in Malaysia last
year, according to the World Health Organization, and the cancer incidence in
Malaysia is expected to double by 2040. There was an 11% increase in new cancer
cases and nearly 30% more deaths from cancer reported in the 2012–2016 Malaysia
National Cancer Registry Report compared to the 2007–2011 report. The rising number
of cancer cases will become a major health issue as the growing cancer burden
continues to put tremendous physical, emotional, and financial strain on people
with cancer, communities, and the country’s health care system.
