The possible significance of coexistent malignant tumors in death attributable to SIDS is discussed.

Purpose: Genitourinary rhabdomyosarcoma (GU-RMS) often requires multimodal therapy treatment including radiation, chemotherapy, and radical surgery for disease control. The long-term effects of the disease and associated treatments are unclear. We sought to investigate the long-term genitourinary quality of life for adult survivors of pediatric GU-RMS.

Purpose: Pediatric Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a morbid and often lethal condition characterized by a paucity of clinical data. Beyond a detailed risk categorization system, it is unclear if genitourinary (GU) sites (bladder/prostate, paratesticular, female organs) have outcomes distinct from non-GU sites. This study pools primary data from phase-3 clinical trials involving pediatric RMS to evaluate this question.
