[Frequency, therapy and survival time of reticulum cellsarcoma in the German Democratic Republic. An epidemiological study of 7467 cases from 1960 to 1973 (author's transl)].

7467 Reticulum cell sarcomas have been recorded in the register of patients suffering form carcinoma (1960 to 1973). This report deals with the distribution of age, sex, size and frequency during the different years and in different districts. Moreover, problems of confirming the diagnoses and of histological findings are considered. The chances of survival of patients suffering from reticulum cell sarcoma (about 16,0% survive the five-year limit, 10,3% survive the ten-year-limit) are examined for the therapy, age and size of the tumour also being taken into account.
