	Rhabdomyosarcoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In a rhabdomyosarcoma, the accumulation in a variable proportion of the malignant cells of large amounts of the particular isomers of the proteins that are responsible for the contractile properties of skeletal muscle typically result in large cells with cytoplasm that stains deeply red with eosin.
		This may be exploited as a means to identify malignant neoplasms that contain cells that show determination towards rhabdomyosarcoma, even when there is insufficient differentiation to allow phenotypic assessment to be used for the diagnosis.
		As this protein may also be present in the cytoplasm of cells of other neoplasms whose other characteristics show that they are not rhabdomyosarcomas, demonstration of the presence of myo D1 should be considered supportive for rhabdomyosarcoma only if the protein is present in the cell nuclei.

	Rhabdomyosarcoma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Rhabdomyosarcoma is a cancerous tumor that originates in the soft tissues of the body, including the muscles, tendons and connective tissues.
		Rhabdomyosarcoma can also be found in places where skeletal muscles are absent or very small, such as in the prostate, middle ear and bile duct system.
		Rhabdomyosarcomas usually have some type of chromosome abnormality in the cells of the tumor, which are responsible for the tumor formation.

	Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma
		Childhood rhabdomyosarcoma, a soft tissue malignant tumor of skeletal muscle origin, accounts for approximately 3.5% of the cases of cancer among children 0 to 14 years and 2% of the cases among adolescents and young adults 15 to 19 years of age.
		The prognosis for a child or adolescent with rhabdomyosarcoma is related to the age of the child or adolescent, site of origin, resectability, presence of metastases, number of metastatic sites, histopathology, [4] [5] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] and unique biological characteristics of rhabdomyosarcoma tumor cells.
		The basic principle for the initial surgical treatment of children with rhabdomyosarcoma is complete resection of the primary tumor with a surrounding margin of normal tissue and lymph node sampling of the draining nodal basin.

		Diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma is often delayed because of lack of symptoms and because its appearance may coincide with a recent injury.
		Early diagnosis is important because rhabdomyosarcoma is an aggressive tumor that metastasizes (spreads) quickly.
		In general, surgery and radiation therapy are used to treat the primary site of the tumor, while chemotherapy is used to treat disease at all sites in the body.

		Once childhood rhabdomyosarcoma is found, more tests will be done to find out if the cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body.

		Your child may receive treatment that is considered standard based on its effectiveness in a number of patients in past studies, or you may choose to have your child go into a clinical trial.

	Childhood rhabdomyosarcoma
		Rhabdomyosarcoma can be divided into several histologic subtypes: embryonal, embryonal-botryoid, alveolar, pleomorphic, and mixed histology.[1] The embryonal (including botryoid) subtype is the most frequently observed histologic subtype in children, accounting for approximately 80% of rhabdomyosarcomas of childhood.
		Approximately 20% of children with rhabdomyosarcoma have the alveolar subtype, with an increased frequency of this subtype noted in adolescents and in patients with primary sites involving the extremities, trunk, and perineum/perirectal region.[1] Pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma occurs predominantly in patients aged 30-50 years and is rarely seen in children.
		The combination of ifosfamide and etoposide has considerable activity in the treatment of recurrent rhabdomyosarcoma for children not previously treated with these agents.[3] Very intensive chemotherapy followed by autologous bone marrow re-infusion is also under investigation for patients with recurrent rhabdomyosarcoma.
