Analysis of Trends in Race and Gender Disparities in Incidence-Based Mortality in Patients Diagnosed with Soft Tissue Sarcomas from 2000 to 2016.

This study highlights the higher rate of incidence-based mortality in Caucasian males compared to African American males in the past 15 years despite a lower incidence reported in the 1995 to 2008 period. With no significant change in mortality rates/year noted during this time period, this study implies that soft tissue sarcomas in Caucasian males have worse outcomes. Further research is needed to understand the mechanism underlying this disparity.
