Overview
Classification
Multiple classification systems have been proposed for subclassifying these tumors. The most recent classification system, the "International Classification of Rhabdomyosarcoma", was created by the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study.[1] This system attempts to combine elements of the previous systems and correlate these with prognosis based on tumor type.
