Abstract

Objective To study the clinical features of children with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and the influencing factors for prognosis. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical and follow-up data of 20 children with RMS who were admitted to the Department of Pediatric Hematology, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, from June 2014 to September 2020. Results The most common clinical symptoms of the 20 children with RMS at the first visit were painless mass (13/20, 65%), exophthalmos (4/20, 20%), and abdominal pain (3/20, 15%). According to the staging criteria of Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study Group (IRSG), there was 1 child (5%) with stage I RMS, 4 (20%) with stage II RMS, 9 (45%) with stage III RMS, and 6 (30%) with stage IV RMS. The median follow-up time was 19 months for the 20 children (range: 3-93 months), with a 2-year overall survival (OS) rate of 79.5% (95%CI: 20.1-24.3) and a 2-year event-free survival (EFS) rate of 72.0% (95%CI: 19.5-23.9). Pleomorphic RMS was associated with the reduced 2-year OS rate (P<0.05), and distant metastasis, IRSG stage IV RMS, and high-risk RMS were associated with the reduced 2-year EFS rate (P<0.05). Conclusions RMS has no specific clinical symptoms at the first visit, with painless mass as the most common symptom. Distant metastasis, IRSG stage, and risk degree may be associated with the prognosis of children with RMS. Citation:Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics, 2022, 24(9): 1036-1041
