Incidence, Gender, Age and Ethnic Distribution of Sarcomas in the Republic of Suriname from 1980 to 2008.
[liposarcoma]
We
report
on
the
incidence
and
the
gender
,
age
,
and
ethnic
distribution
of
sarcomas
diagnosed
between
1980
and
2008
in
the
multi-ethnic
Republic
of
Suriname
.
T
otal
and
average
yearly
number
of
cases
,
crude
rates
,
as
well
as
relevant
population
data
were
derived
from
the
records
of
the
Pathologic
Anatomy
Laboratory
and
the
General
Bureau
of
Statistics
,
respectively
,
and
stratified
according
to
gender
,
age
groups
0
-
19
,
20
-
49
and
50
+
years
,
and
the
largest
ethnic
groups
(
Hindustani
,
Creole
,
Javanese
and
Maroons
)
.
Between
1980
and
2008
,
258
sarcomas
were
diagnosed
in
Suriname
,
ie
at
a
frequency
of
nine
per
year
and
an
annual
rate
of
two
per
100
000
.
Overall
,
there
was
0
.
9
male
per
female
,
two
to
four
cases
per
year
in
each
age
group
,
and
one
to
three
patients
in
each
ethnic
group
.
Soft
-tissue
sarcomas
comprised
approximately
80
%
of
overall
cases
,
with
a
male
/
female
ratio
that
was
approximately
0
.
5
;
almost
90
%
of
patients
were
older
than
20
years
;
more
than
one
-
third
was
Creole
.
Leiomyosarcoma
,
fibrosarcoma
and
liposarcoma
were
most
frequently
encountered
(
90
cases
)
,
particularly
above
20
years
of
age
,
while
leiomyosarcomas
seemed
,
additionally
,
more
common
in
women
and
Creoles
or
Maroons
.
The
most
numerous
bone
tumours
were
primitive
neuroectodermal
tumour
/
Ewing
tumour
and
osteosarcoma
(
37
cases
)
.
They
were
more
common
in
males
,
the
youngest
age
group
,
and
Hindustanis
and
Creoles
.
T
he
incidence
of
sarcomas
in
Suriname
,
as
well
as
their
gender
,
age
and
ethnic
distribution
seemed
in
general
comparable
with
international
data
.
The
main
exception
might
be
leiomyosarcoma
which
might
have
a
predilection
for
Afro-
Surinamese
.
