Prognostic factors have been studied in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma in general, but little is known about prognostic factors in the subgroup of patients with bladder/prostate rhabdomyosarcoma (BP-RMS) requiring salvage surgery after failure of chemotherapy ± radiotherapy to achieve local control. We reviewed the 28-year Italian experience with BP-RMS requiring salvage surgery after failure of nonsurgical management indicated by evidence of disease persistence after chemotherapy ± radiotherapy. Our hypothesis was that the same variables identified as prognostic factors in the general population with RMS could have prognostic value in this subgroup.

Abstract
Prognostic factors have been studied in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma in general, but little is known about prognostic factors in the subgroup of patients with bladder/prostate rhabdomyosarcoma (BP-RMS) requiring salvage surgery after failure of chemotherapy ± radiotherapy to achieve local control. We reviewed the 28-year Italian experience with BP-RMS requiring salvage surgery after failure of nonsurgical management indicated by evidence of disease persistence after chemotherapy ± radiotherapy. Our hypothesis was that the same variables identified as prognostic factors in the general population with RMS could have prognostic value in this subgroup.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
