Sarcoma Cancer Survival Rate

In the recent years, the medical field has been trying to come up with ways to increase the sarcoma cancer survival rate, but without much luck. As of today, the sarcoma cancer survival rate is still among the lowest in all cancer types and seemed to continually decline as more studies are conducted.

Cancer Awareness

Sarcoma may equally create on both adults and children and may start at any parts of the body. Most sarcomas arise from soft tissues and bones with 60% starting from our extremities, 30% on the middle body part like the abdomen, and 10% from the head and neck. Not many habitancy regain this cancer - Cancer.net reports that only 1% of all adult cancer cases are sarcoma. However, the disease is quite high in children at colse to 15%.

The most tasteless type of sarcoma is soft-tissue sarcoma which arises from connective tissues in our body. This type of sarcoma is pretty tasteless because it plainly occurs at any parts of the body.

A 5 year sarcoma cancer survival rate is the ratio between the estimate of patients with sarcoma who are still alive 5 years after being diagnosed to the estimate of those who didn't make it. Regardless of the stage or type of sarcoma cancer, the sarcoma cancer survival rate is relatively 50-50 so 1 out of 2 patients live more than 5 years with enough cure.

Some researchers argue with this follow because there are types of sarcomas that are plainly more critical compared to the other types.

Eighty three percent of those patients who were diagnosed at the first stage of the cancer were able to survive until 5 years. Treatment at this stage normally includes surgery and a incorporate of chemotherapy sessions. Four out of five patients remain living because at this stage, the cancer is very easy to take off since it is still confined at one part of the body.

It's when the sarcoma begins spreading out of other tissues that the sarcoma survival rate may become quite lower. And at the final stage, only 1 out of 8 habitancy survive the cancer and add 5 or more years in their lives.

The good thing is more than half of the patients with sarcoma are diagnosed at the first stages. Hopefully, this will increase more with the help of more industrialized equipments and more medical missions to propagate awareness of sarcoma cancer not just in the Us but also worldwide.
