About statistics:
This page presents a variety of statistics about Soft Tissue Sarcoma.
The term 'prevalence' of Soft Tissue Sarcoma usually refers to the estimated population
of people who are managing Soft Tissue Sarcoma at any given time.
The term 'incidence' of Soft Tissue Sarcoma refers to the annual diagnosis rate,
or the number of new cases of Soft Tissue Sarcoma diagnosed each year.
Hence, these two statistics types can differ:
a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence,
but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
