Malignant primary bone tumors account for less than 1 percent of all cancers diagnosed in the United States.

Nine hundred new cases of osteosarcoma are diagnosed in the United States every year.

Bone cancer is usually diagnosed about three months after symptoms first appear, and 20 percent of malignant tumors have metastasized to the lungs or other parts of the body by that time.

Once bone cancer has been diagnosed, the tumor is staged.

About 25 to 30 percent of patients diagnosed with high-grade osteosarcomas (tumors that develop in immature tissue and contain a large number of cancer cells) die of the disease.

Two-thirds of all children diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma live for more than five years after the disease is detected.

Speech and language disorders are usually diagnosed by a speech and language pathologist, often with the help of a pediatrician, audiologist (hearing specialist), and neurologist.

About 50 percent of all cases of CP diagnosed are in children who are born prematurely.

Approximately 500,000 children and adults in the United States have CP, and it is newly diagnosed in about 6,000 infants and young children each year, representing about two to three children in 1,000 live births.

Babies with more severe cases of CP are usually diagnosed earlier than others.
