Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma of childhood. Recognition of specific genetic changes in the two most common subtypes of rhabdomyosarcoma has allowed better understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease. In addition, identification of prognostic factors and the use of risk-directed multimodal therapy have improved the outcome for these patients significantly, with cure rates approaching 70%.Entities:
