Hello everyone,

I'm new here and I'm hoping to get some help on a question I have. I'm interested in learning about the survival rate of Ewing sarcoma by age. Does anyone have any information on this? I've tried searching online, but I'm having trouble finding reliable sources. Any advice or resources on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

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.

The survival rate for Ewing sarcoma varies greatly depending on age. Generally, the younger the patient, the better the prognosis and the higher the survival rate. Studies have shown that the 5-year survival rate for those under the age of 15 is around 70%, while the 5-year survival rate for those aged 15-30 is around 50%. Survival rates decrease with age; those aged 30-40 have a 5-year survival rate of approximately 40%, while those over the age of 40 have a 5-year survival rate of roughly 25%.

The survival rate for Ewing sarcoma varies by age. Generally, the rate is better for patients under the age of 20. According to the National Cancer Institute, those under the age of 10 have a 5-year survival rate of 75%, while those aged 10-19 have a 5-year survival rate of 64%. For those aged 20 and above, the 5-year survival rate drops to around 27%. Factors like the stage of the cancer, the molecular subtype, and response to treatment also play a role in survival rate.

The survival rate for Ewing sarcoma varies greatly depending on the age of the patient. Generally, the survival rate for younger patients (under 20) is around 60-70%, while the rate for patients over the age of 20 is significantly lower, around 15-20%. Treatment outcomes also depend on other factors, such as the stage of the cancer, the size and location of the tumor, and whether the cancer has spread. It is important to discuss the specifics of your case with your doctor in order to get a more accurate assessment of your individual survival rate.

The prognosis for Ewing sarcoma is usually good, with survival rates increasing with age. The five-year survival rate is approximately 70-80% for those younger than 18 years old, and around 50-60% for those aged 18-39. For those over 39, the survival rate drops to around 30-40%.
