Rhabdomyosarcoma

Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare type of cancer that primarily affects soft tissues, particularly muscle. It most commonly occurs in children and adolescents but can happen at any age. This cancer arises from immature muscle cells and can appear in various parts of the body, such as the head, neck, arms, legs, or reproductive organs. Symptoms often depend on the tumor's location, which may include visible lumps, pain, or swelling. Treatment typically involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, aiming to remove the tumor and prevent its spread. Early diagnosis is crucial for improving outcomes.
