Until now, there has been very little data available about incidence and survival of soft tissue sarcomas.
Detailed information about 84 subtypes of soft tissue sarcomas has been described for the first time, posing positive implications for people affected by sarcoma.
The study, led by researchers at University College London, analysed data about people diagnosed with a soft tissue sarcoma in England between 2013 and 2017. They explored factors such as incidence (how many people have been diagnosed), age at diagnosis, the route people take to having their sarcoma diagnosed, survival, and differences due to social deprivation.
