This is the mainstay of synovial sarcoma treatment and is curative in approximately 20–70% of patients, depending on the particular study being quoted. [ 17 ] Conventional chemotherapy , (for example, doxorubicin hydrochloride and ifosfamide ), to reduce the number of remaining microscopic metastases . [ 16 ]
In the United States there has been an increase in the 5-year relative survival rate between people diagnosed with cancer in 1975-1977 (48.9%) and people diagnosed with cancer in 2007-2013 (69.2%); these figures coincide with a 20% decrease in cancer mortality from 1950 to 2014. [8]
In the United States during 2013–2017, the age-adjusted mortality rate for all types of cancer was 189.5/100,000 for males, and 135.7/100,000 for females. [1] Below is an incomplete list of age-adjusted mortality rates for different types of cancer in the United States from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program.
They account for less than 1% of all new cancer cases each year. [21] In 2023, about 14,300 new cases were diagnosed in the United States. [21] 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, synovial sarcoma).

Pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma patients have a 50–85% long term survival rate. [23] Osteosarcoma is a cancer of the ... 20 years old, 13.8% occur in people 20–34 ...
This is a list of countries by cancer frequency, as measured by the number of new cancer cases per 100,000 population among countries, based on the 2018 GLOBOCAN statistics and including all cancer types (some earlier statistics excluded non-melanoma skin cancer).
The majority – 39 cases per million person-years – were estimated to be localized TGCT; the remaining 4 cases per million person-years were estimated to be diffuse TGCT. [8] TGCT can occur in patients of any age, but people with localized TGCT are typically between 30 and 50 years old, [ 3 ] : 100–101 while diffuse TGCT tends to affect ...
In fact, multi-agent chemotherapy is indicated for all patients with rhabdomyosarcoma. Before the use of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy involving chemotherapeutic agents, treatment solely by surgical means had a survival rate of <20%. Modern survival rates with adjuvant therapy are approximately 60–70%. [8] [39]
