Rhabdomyosarcoma of the kidney
Rhabdomyosarcoma is considered the most common soft tissue sarcoma arising in patients younger than 15 years old, accounting for 5%–10% of childhood solid tumors. Sarcoma of the kidney represents 1% of all primary renal malignancies.

Cell death pathways as therapeutic targets in rhabdomyosarcoma [PDF]
Resistance of rhabdomyosarcoma to current therapies remains one of the key issues in pediatric oncology. Since the success of most cytotoxic therapies in the treatment of cancer, for example, chemotherapy, depends on intact signaling pathways that ...

Dedifferentiation of an intracranial leptomeningeal solitary fibrous tumor to a rhabdomyosarcoma
Solitary fibrous tumors are fibroblastic mesenchymal neoplasms that also include what was previously known as hemangiopericytoma. Dedifferentiation of solitary fibrous tumors is rare and usually manifests as a high-grade sarcoma.

BMN673 sensitizes rhabdomyosarcoma tumors to irradiation in vivo [PDF]
Bone and soft tissue sarcomas are mesenchymal tumors that occur rarely in adults, representing only 1% of total malignancies, but comprise up to 13% of malignant tumors in children.1 Rhabdomyosarcoma, a soft tissue sarcoma that commonly affects children,

Crizotinib-induced antitumour activity in human alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma cells is not solely dependent on ALK and MET inhibition [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most commonly diagnosed malignant soft tissue tumour in children and adolescents. Aberrant expression of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) and MET gene has been implicated in the malignant progression of RMS ...

Insurance impacts survival for children, adolescents, and young adults with bone and soft tissue sarcomas. [PDF]
BackgroundWhile racial/ethnic survival disparities have been described in pediatric oncology, the impact of income has not been extensively explored. We analyzed how public insurance influences 5-year overall survival (OS) in young patients with sarcomas.
