Overview
The common risk factors in the development of rhabdomyosarcoma are Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Costello syndrome, and Noonan syndrome.
Risk Factors
- The same as all other childhood cancers, the particular risk factors of rhabdomyosarcoma is not exactly known.[1]
- Higher incidence of rhabdomyosarcoma is reported among following individuals:[2][3][4]
- Exposure to radiation in utero
- Low socio-economic situations
- Anti-biotic therapy soon after birth
- In children whose parents took recreational drugs such as cocaine and marijuanaduring pregnancy[5]
- Accelerated growth in utero
- Rhabdomyosarcomamay be associated with following familial syndroms:[6][7][8]
- Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome[9]
- Li-Fraumeni syndrome
- Costello syndrome[10]
- Neurofibromatosis[11]
