2021 Pediatric Grand Rounds | Clinical & Molecular Risk Stratification of Rhabdomyosarcoma

Duarte, CA US
July 29, 2021

Rhabdomyosarcoma is traditionally risk stratified based on clinical features. With the advent of molecular profiling, multiple molecular markers of adverse prognosis has been recognized in rhabdomyosarcoma. The next step is to combine these markers to clinical factors to refine rhabdomyosarcoma risk stratification.    

Target Audience

City of Hope Pediatric Hematology/Oncology physicians, advance practice practitioners, City of Hope staff and research teams.

Learning Objectives

  • Outline the molecular prognostic factors in fusion negative and fusion positive rhabdomyosarcoma.
  • Identify opportunities for therapy reduction and therapy intensification in different subgroups of rhabdomyosarcoma.
  • Discuss the potential role of whole genome sequencing and methylation array analysis in newly diagnosed patients with rhabdomyosarcoma.
  • Integrate genomic testing into rhabdomyosarcoma management where appropriate.
  • Outline the various types of cultural diversities (gender, age, race, religion, culture, etc.) that relate to demographics, diagnosis and treatment.
