The survival rate for Ewing sarcoma by age varies significantly depending on the stage of diagnosis and other factors. Generally speaking, the five-year overall survival rate for Ewing sarcoma is approximately 73%. However, survival rates vary significantly based on the age and stage of diagnosis.
Survival Rates for Ages 0-19
For patients diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma between the ages of 0 to 19, the five-year overall survival rate is approximately 80%. This is slightly higher than the overall survival rate due to the younger age of the patients, which allows for more treatment options and a better prognosis.
Survival Rates for Ages 20-39
Patients diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma between the ages of 20 to 39 have a five-year overall survival rate of approximately 70%. This is slightly lower than the overall survival rate due to the older age of the patients, meaning there are fewer treatment options and a worse prognosis.
Survival Rates for Ages 40 and Above
Patients diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma over the age of 40 have a five-year overall survival rate of approximately 45%. This is significantly lower than the overall survival rate due to the much older age of the patients, meaning there are even fewer treatment options and an even worse prognosis.
It is important to note that these survival rates are estimates and will vary based on the individual patient’s characteristics. It is also important to remember that these survival rates are only the likelihood of surviving for five years after diagnosis. Patients may survive for much longer after that.
