Rhabdomyosarcoma may occur at any age.
The exact cause of Rhabdomyosarcoma is unknown.
The exact causes of Rhabdomyosarcomas are unknown.
The exact causes of Rhabdomyosarcomas are still unknown.
Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcomas usually spread to surrounding tissues.
There are some reports suggesting a link between CCAMs and Rhabdomyosarcoma.
Treatment for Rhabdomyosarcoma depends on how significantly the cancer has progressed.
A Rhabdomyosarcoma in the nose may cause obstruction of the air passage,
and discharge.
Sarcoma botryoides, a Rhabdomyosarcoma also is found most often in infants and children.
Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcomas most often occur in the arms and legs, chest or tummy(abdomen).
The treatment depends on the type of Rhabdomyosarcoma and the stage of the cancer.
Rhabdomyosarcoma can occur at any age,
but it most often affects children and young adults.
Rhabdomyosarcomas may cause a variety of symptoms, depending
on which part of the body is affected.
An orbital Rhabdomyosarcoma may cause the eye to be pushed forward(protrude),
or cause the eyelid to droop.
It often appears in the head and neck region,
and especially in the tissues around the eye(orbital Rhabdomyosarcoma).
Rhabdomyosarcomas can occur at any age
but are much more common in children and only rarely affect adults.
However, the outcome(prognosis)
is usually very good and most children with embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma are cured of the cancer.
It most often occurs in the head and neck region,
especially in the tissues around the eye(called an orbital Rhabdomyosarcoma).
