Recurrent Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma

Treatment options for recurrent childhood rhabdomyosarcoma are based on many factors, including where in the body the cancer has come back, what type of treatment the patient had before, and the needs of the individual child. Treatment may include one or more of the following:

• Chemotherapy with one or more anticancer agents.
• Surgery.
• Radiation therapy.
• A clinical trial of different schedules and combinations of chemotherapy.
• A clinical trial of new chemotherapy regimens.
• A clinical trial of new anticancer drugs.
• A clinical trial of targeted therapy.
• A clinical trial of high-dose chemotherapy followed by stem cell transplant using the patient's own stem cells.
