Overview
Soft tissue sarcomas are relatively uncommon cancers. They account for less than 1% of all new cancer cases each year.[1]
Epidemiology
Incidence
- The estimated number of new cases of soft tissue sarcoma in the United States is approximately 12,000.[2]
- The estimated incidence of soft tissue sarcoma worldwide is 1.8 to 5 per 100,000 per year.[3]
Age
Soft tissue sarcomas are more commonly found in older patients (>50 years old) although in children and adolescents under age 20, certain histologies are common (rhabdomyosarcoma).
Percent Distribution of Soft Tissue Sarcoma by Histology
- Fibrosarcoma: 6.9%
- Infantile fibrosarcoma: 0.2%
- Fibrous histiocytoma, malignant: 9.2%
- Dermatofibrosarcoma: 3.6%
- Liposarcoma: 17.1%
- Leiomyosarcoma: 13.2%
- Rhabdomyosarcoma: 3.1%
- Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma: 1.3%
- Hemangiosarcoma: 3.7%
- Hemangiopericytoma, malignant: 0.5%
- Kaposi sarcoma: 0.8%
- Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor: 1.6%
- Malignant neurilemmoma: 0.2%
- Neuroblastoma: 0.6%
- Synovial sarcoma: 4.8%
