Embryonal and Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma in Adults: Real-Life Data From a Tertiary Sarcoma Centre

Embryonal and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS, ARMS) are subtypes of RMS that mainly occur in children, with relatively good outcomes. The incidence in adults is extremely low and survival is significantly worse compared with children. Data are scarce and literature generally combines all RMS subtypes, including pleomorphic RMS, which primarily occurs in adults and behaves more like undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate patient and tumour characteristics, outcome and prognostic factors in adult patients with ERMS and ARMS.
