The prognosis for children and adolescents with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) has improved with refinements in multi-modal therapy. Since 1972, the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study Group (now the Children's Oncology Group Soft-Tissue Sarcoma Committee) has conducted serial studies for RMS. This review describes the IRSG and COG experience with RMS, presents the current risk stratification definitions, and provides rationale for the current generation of COG RMS studies.
横纹肌肉瘤(RMS)患儿和青少年的预后随着多模式治疗的改进而得到改善。自 1972 年以来,国际横纹肌肉瘤研究组(现为儿童肿瘤学组软组织肉瘤委员会)已经对 RMS 进行了一系列研究。本综述描述了 IRSG 和 COG 治疗 RMS 的经验,提出了当前的风险分层定义,并为当前一代 COG RMS 研究提供了理论依据。
