Analysis of DFSP incidence and survival between 2013 and 2022 in England shows a stable trend, indicating a need for continued monitoring.
The incidence data for England from 2013–2022 indicates that there were 171 cases every year on average which gives a CIR (crude incidence rates) of 0.31 per 100,000 and a non-significant annual increase of 1.42% before the COVID-19 pandemic, 2013-2019. DFSP has a high 5-year net survival rate of 99.2 and overall survival rate of 96.5, which indicates a generally favourable DFSP prognosis once resected.
