No figures are available on the number of deaths from osteosarcoma because it is defined in terms of cell type, and this information is not collected at death registration. Deaths from osteosarcoma are included in figures for malignant neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage. The number of deaths from malignant neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage in England in each of the last 10 years for which figures are available are given in the table below.

[155079] Ruth Kelly: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply. Letter from Len Cook to Mr. Andrew George dated 19 February 2004: As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent question concerning how many new cases of osteosarcoma have been diagnosed in (a) children, (b) adolescents and (c) adults in each of the last 10 years for which figures are available. Newly diagnosed cases of osteosarcoma are coded to malignant neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage. It is not possible to say exactly how many such cases are osteosarcoma, because some records do not identify the specific cell type. Of the total numbers of cases of malignant neoplasms of bone and articular cartilage, osteosarcomas represent about 50% in children and adolescents and about 25% in adults. The numbers of registrations of newly diagnosed cases of malignant neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage in England for the age groups requested for the years 1991 to 2000 (the latest available year) are given in the table below. The age groups; children, adolescents and adults are those used in recent published studies of the incidence of cancer in England.

Mr. Baron: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the latest survival rate is for those suffering from (a) childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, (b) acute myelogenous leukaemia, (c) chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, (d) esophageal cancer, (e) osteosarcoma, (f) pancreatic cancer, (g) retinoblastoma, (h) sarcoma, (i) stomach cancer, (j) thyroid cancer and (k) Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia. [127020] John Healey: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician. I have asked him to reply. Letter from Colin Mowl to Mr. John Baron, dated 22 July 2003: The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent question concerning what the latest survival rate is for those suffering from (a) childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, (b) acute myelogenous leukaemia, (c) chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, (d) oesophageal cancer, (e) osteosarcoma, (f) pancreatic cancer, (g) retinoblastoma, (h) sarcoma, (i) stomach cancer, (j) thyroid cancer and (k) Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia. I am replying on his behalf. (127020). The frequency with which cancer survival statistics are updated depends on how commonly the cancer occurs. Cancer survival rates are routinely estimated for eight major cancers, which account for almost 60 per cent. of all cancers. These include stomach and oesophageal cancer. The latest available survival rates for the eight cancers are for patients diagnosed in 1993-95 and followed up to the end of 2000. Five years relative survival rates by sex and age group for England are available on the National Statistics website at: http//www.statistics.gov.uk/ statbase/Expodata/Spreadsheets/D4924.xls. The five year relative survival rates for stomach cancer were 11.1 per cent. and 11.8 per cent. for men and women respectively, and for oesophageal cancer were 6.7 per cent. and 7.7 per cent. respectively. The report Cancer survival in the health authorities of England 1993-2000 provides information about the methods used is available on the National Statistics website at: http:// www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/theme health/HSQ13 v4.pdf. Pancreatic cancer is one of the twenty most common cancers, which together account for almost 90 per cent. of all cancers. The latest available cancer survival figures for those sites not included in the eight mentioned above, are for patients diagnosed in 1991-93 and followed up tot eh end of 1998. Five year survival rates by sex and age group for England and Wales for these cancers are published in the report Cancer survival in England and Wales, 1991-1998 which is available on the National Statistics website at:http://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/theme health/ HSQ6Book.pdf. The five year relative survival rates for pancreatic cancer were 2.4 per cent. and 2.1 per cent. for men and women respectively. The latest information on survival from the other requested cancer sites, with the exception of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia, is summarised in Cancer Survival Trends in England and Wales, 1971-95: deprivation and NHS Region. This publication presents cancer survival trends in patients diagnosed between 1971 and 1990 and followed up for at least five years to the end of 1995; it is available in the House of Commons Library. The five year relative survival rates for adults (aged 15-99) were 8 per cent. for acute myeloid leukaemia, 51 per cent. for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, 51 per cent. for connective tissue (sarcoma) and 73 per cent. for thyroid cancer. For those cancers analysed for children (aged 0-14), the five year relative survival rates were:76 per cent. for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, 51 per cent. for osteosarcoma and 93 per cent. for retinoblastoma. Survival figures for Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia are not available.
