Soft tissue sarcoma statistics

To provide the most current cancer statistics, statistical methods are used to estimate the number of new cancer cases and deaths until actual data become available.

Incidence is the total number of new cases of cancer. Mortality is the number of deaths due to cancer.

It is estimated that in 2023:

• 1,700 Canadians will be diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma (including cancer of the heart).
• 640 Canadians will die from soft tissue sarcoma.
• 950 men will be diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma and 350 will die from it.
• 730 women will be diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma and 290 will die from it.
