Patients with metastasis (disseminated tumor), larger tumors, tumors that could not be fully removed, tumor reoccurrence, and were younger than 36 months had the worse outcomes (i.e., shorter survival times). 
 
A retrospective survey from 36 AT/RT St. Jude Children's Hospital patients from 1984 to 2004 found a less than 10% survival rate in children under three, but a 70% survival rate in older children.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.stjude.org/disease-summaries/0,2557,449_2160_7267,00.html |title=Atypical Teratoid / Rhabdoid Tumor (ATRT) |accessdate=2007-07-10 |publisher=St Jude's Hospital}}</ref> A retrospective register at the Cleveland Children's hospital on 42 AT/RT patients found median survival time is 16.25 months and a survival rate around 33%. One-quarter of these cases did not show the mutation in the [[SWI/SNF|INI1/hSNF5]] gene.

Overview

Natural History

Complications

Metastatic spread is noted in approximately one-third of the AT/RT cases at the time of diagnosis and tumors can occur anywhere throughout the CNS. The ASCO study of the 188 documented AT/RT cases prior to 2004 found 30% of the cases had metastasis at diagnosis. Metastatic spread to the meninges (leptomenigeal spread sometimes referred to as sugar coating) is common both initially and with relapse. Average survival times decline with the presence of metastasis. Primary CNS tumors metastasize only within the CNS.

One case of metastatic disease to the abdomen via ventriculoperitoneal shunt has been reported with AT/RT . Metastatic dissemination via this mechanism has been reported with other brain tumors including germinomas, medulloblastomas, astrocytomas, glioblastomas, ependymomas and endodermal sinus tumors. Guler and Sugita separately reported cases of lung metastasis without a shunt.[1][2]

Prognosis

  • Prognosis is generally poor, and the 5-year overall survival rate of patients with atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is 29 ± 9%.[3]
  • The patients usually succumb to atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor between 6 months and 1 year from diagnosis.
  • Compared to medulloblastoma, atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor has a significantly worse prognosis
  • Older age at diagnosis is a favorable prognostifc factor for atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor.
  • Poor prognostic factors for atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor include:[4]
    • Germline mutation
    • Age < 2 years
    • Metastases at diagnosis
    • Subtotal resection
    • Large tumors
  • Recurrence
