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.
