Background: Patients with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) with regional lymph node involvement (N1) are defined as "very-high-risk rhabdomyosarcoma" in Europe. Different chemotherapy regimens were used in European study protocols.

Methods: Patients with FOXO1 fusion-positive N1 ARMS registered in the CWS-2002P study, the EpSSG RMS 2005 study, and SoTiSaR were retrospectively investigated.

Background: Prognostic factors are crucial in tailoring treatments for patients with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). The European paediatric Soft tissue sarcoma Study Group (EpSSG) and the Children's Oncology Group (COG) employ similar prognostic factors, but utilize them differently resulting in diverse stratification systems. This diversity may result in dissimilar treatment approaches for comparable patients and hinder the comparison of clinical trial results.

Background: Parameningeal (PM) site is an unfavorable characteristic in rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). We described the treatment and outcome for patients with PM RMS and investigated the prognostic value of risk factors. We scored PM site by originating site and by highest risk extension.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have found many massive-galaxy candidates in the early Universe, stretching further back in time and at lower brightness levels than previously seen.
  • These findings initially posed challenges to the Λ cold dark-matter model, but the new study's results show no significant conflicts when accounting for spectroscopic redshifts.
  • The research highlights three ultra-massive galaxies that convert a notably high percentage of baryons into stars, suggesting they play a significant role in cosmic star-formation rates at redshifts 5 to 6.

Background: Patients with PAX3/7-FOXO1 fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcomas (fnRMS) harbouring the rare L122R MYOD1 mutation have significantly poorer prognosis than other fnRMS. We undertook a detailed clinicopathological evaluation of a cohort of patients with MYOD1 mutated fnRMS in order to improve risk stratification and treatment options.

Procedure: Histological, mutational and clinical data from a cohort of patients with MYOD1 mutant RMS treated in Europe were analysed.
