Does routine imaging of patients for progression or relapse improve survival in rhabdomyosarcoma?

ConclusionsRoutine surveillance imaging practice should be critically reviewed for children with RMS. Although our findings must be validated by larger studies, they do have substantive implications. Reduced imaging tailored to the risk and pattern of recurrence, associated risks and cost could improve patient quality of life and decrease health‐care expenditure without compromising outcome.
