TITLE:  Analysis of Prognostic Factors in Patients with Non-Metastatic Rhabdomyosarcoma Treated on Intergroup Rhabodomyosarcoma Studies III and IV
 
 
The outcome for patients with localized rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) or undifferentiated sarcoma (UDS) is affected by age, histology, primary anatomic site, and extent of disease. We evaluated prognostic factors for these patients using data from two recent treatment protocols of the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study Group (IRSG).
 
We evaluated various patient and disease characteristics for their ability to predict outcome for patients with non-metastatic RMS or UDS treated on IRS-III (1984-91) or IRS-IV (1991-1997).
