According to data published by the US National Cancer Institute (NCI), the overall 5-year survival for '''bone sarcomas''' is 66.9%.<ref name=":8">{{Cite web|url=https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/bones.html|title=Bone and Joint Cancer - Cancer Stat Facts|website=SEER|language=en|access-date=2019-03-27}}</ref> The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that 2,140 people in the US will die in 2023 from bone sarcomas, accounting for 0.3% of all cancer deaths.<ref name=":7">{{Cite journal |last1=Siegel |first1=Rebecca L. |last2=Miller |first2=Kimberly D. |last3=Wagle |first3=Nikita Sandeep |last4=Jemal |first4=Ahmedin |date=2023 |title=Cancer statistics, 2023 |journal=CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians |volume=73 |issue=1 |pages=17–48 |doi=10.3322/caac.21763 |issn=1542-4863 |pmid=36633525|doi-access=free }}</ref> The [[median]] age at death is 61 years old, although death can occur in any age group.<ref name=":8" /> Thus, 12.3% of bone sarcoma deaths occur in people under 20 years old, 13.8% occur in people 20–34 years old, 5.5% occur in people 35–44 years old, 9.3% occur in people 45–54 years old, 13.5% occur in people 55–64 years old, 16.2% occur in people 65–74 years old, 16.4% occur in people 75–84 years old, and 13.1% occur in people 85 years or older.<ref name=":8" />

For '''soft-tissue sarcomas''', the overall 5-year survival (irrespective of stage) is 64.5%, but survival is affected by many factors, including stage.<ref name=":9">{{Cite web|url=https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/soft.html|title=Soft Tissue Cancer - Cancer Stat Facts|website=SEER|language=en|access-date=2019-03-27}}</ref> Thus, the 5-year survival is 80.8% for soft-tissue sarcomas that have not spread beyond the primary tumor ("localized" tumors), 58.0% for soft-tissue sarcomas that have spread only to nearby lymph nodes, and 16.4% for soft-tissue sarcomas that have spread to distant organs.<ref name=":9" /> The ACS estimates that 5,140 people will die from soft-tissue sarcoma in 2023, accounting for 0.9% of all cancer deaths.<ref name=":7" />
