Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor. Surgery plays a critical role in obtaining tissue to make an accurate diagnosis. Stem cell transplantation is indicated in very aggressive atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors, to receive high doses of chemotherapy.
Surgery
- Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor.[1]
- Surgery plays a critical role in obtaining tissue to make an accurate diagnosis. Surgery alone is not curative.
Stem Cell Transplantation
- Stem cell transplantation is indicated in very aggressive atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors, to receive high doses of chemotherapy.[2]
- Autologous stem cell rescue: The patient's own stem cells are collected, and then high-dose chemotherapy is infused. This is followed by autologous stem cell transplantation to help them recover from the chemotherapy.[3]
