International osteosarcoma incidence patterns in children and adolescents, middle ages and elderly persons
Open accessAbstract
Osteosarcoma incidence rates in the United States peak in adolescence and in the elderly. The international patterns of osteosarcoma incidence in children have been described, whereas those for young, middle age or elderly adults have not. Using the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, International Agency for Cancer Research database we compared incidence rates for children and adolescents (age 0–24 years), the middle age group (25–59 years) and elderly (≥60 years) persons by world regions and individual countries. Overall, worldwide osteosarcoma incidence rates were quite similar in the younger age groups. The greatest variation in incidence rates was observed in the elderly. Published 2009 UICC

Higher osteosarcoma incidence has been reported in South America and Africa than in Europe.
“However, a higher incidence has been reported in South America (7-7.6 per million young males in Colombia and Ecuador) and in Africa (Sudan and Uganda, relative frequency in childhood 5.3% and 6.4%, respectively) than in Europe (frequency ~2-3%) 10,11 .”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
