Abstract:
56 children with rhabdomyosarcoma were treated in Hungary between 1975 and 1984. Tumor localization, age and sex distribution was similar to reported figures. Survival analysis demonstrated a better prognosis for orbital and urogenital rhabdomyosarcoma. Except for Stage I patients the more advanced cases had an inferior survival to other reported series. Intensification of therapy did not seem to clarify this point. Improving survival necessitates a uniform therapeutic approach that takes prognostic factors into consideration.
