Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people have been diagnosed with infantile fibrosarcoma in the UK in each of the last five years.

Data on the number of people diagnosed with infantile fibrosarcoma in the United Kingdom are not available in the format requested. Infantile fibrosarcoma is not routinely reported on as a separate group. The Childhood Cancer Statistics, England Annual report 2018 reports that for fibrosarcomas, peripheral nerve sheath tumours, and other fibrous neoplasms there were an average of nine diagnoses annually from 2001 to 2015.
