Changing incidence and survival of desmoplastic small round cell tumor in the USA.

ABSTRACT: The incidence and prognosis of desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is inadequately understood. Survival analysis for DSRCT has not been investigated in a population-based study. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 9 Registry (1975-2018). Annual percent changes in incidence were estimated using SEER*Stat, and risk ratios were estimated using Poisson regression. Cox regression models were constructed to estimate the hazard ratio for survival at 5 years. The incidence rate of DSRCT has been rising in the last two decades. Men had a higher age-adjusted incidence rate, and nonmetropolitan counties had a higher incidence rate than metropolitan counties. Blacks had a higher risk of being diagnosed with DSRCT than whites.
