Rhabdomyosarcoma and undifferentiated round cell tumours of soft tissue in children, adolescents and young adults
Soft tissue sarcomas are a rare group of heterogenous entities which affect the tissues supporting, connecting and/or surrounding body structures and organs. Factors such as patient age and tumour location can influence how soft tissue sarcomas manifest with biological and clinical behaviour ranging from less aggressive to highly malignant. Recent advances in both diagnosis and treatment have led to new insights into the pathologic, histologic and genomic characterisation of sarcomas and these insights have diversified subtyping.
