Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma survival rates have dramatically improved since the 1960s due to advances in understanding tumor biology and pathology, alongside chemotherapy and radiation. Organ-sparing treatments are now often possible for children with this common childhood cancer.
