Osteosarcoma: A Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program-based analysis from 1975 to 2017.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy. As a rare cancer, population-based studies remain small with limited information on finer demographic categories. Recent studies have reported important genetic differences based on age and ethnicity, and more detailed studies are needed to better understand potentially important osteosarcoma risk groups.

Methods

Incidence and survival rates for 5016 patients with osteosarcoma from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program (1975-2017) were analyzed by age (0-9, 10-24, 25-59, and >60 years old), race/ethnicity, histologic subtype, stage, and tumor location using SEER*Stat software.

Results

For cases 0 to 9 years old, incidence of primary osteosarcoma was similar between the sexes,
