Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor in the first year of life: the Canadian ATRT registry experience and review of the literature.

While 2/3 of patients with ATRT are less than 3 years at diagnosis, the literature suggests younger children present with more aggressive disease and poorer outcome. However, little data exist on characteristics and outcome of patients diagnosed with ATRT in the first year of life. In particular, it is unclear whether they access similar treatments as do older children.
