Overview
Common complications of rhabdomyosarcoma include metastasis to lung, bone marrow, and bone. Rhabdomyosarcoma is associated with a 5 year survival rate of 72%. The presence of metastasis is associated with a particularly poor prognosis. The embryonal type rhabdomyosarcoma is associated with the most favorable prognosis. Orbital and genitourinary tract rhabdomyosarcomas have the most favorable prognosis.
Complications
- Rhabdomyosarcoma may cause metastasis to other organs
- The lung are the most common location for metastatic disease.[1]
- Other common sites of metastasis are the bone marrow and the bones
Prognosis
- Rhabdomyosarcoma is associated with a 5 year survival rate of 72%
- The presence of metastasis is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with rhabdomyosarcoma. The 5 year event free survival rate is less than 30%
- Embryonal type rhabdomyosarcoma is associated with the most favorable prognosis
- Prognosis varies with location of tumor- orbital and genitourinary tract rhabdomyosarcomas have the most favorable prognosis
