Overview
If left untreated, patients with atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor may progress to develop obstructive hydrocephalus, leptomeningeal dissemination, and ultimately death.[1] Common complications of atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor include obstructive hydrocephalus, leptomeningeal dissemination, and recurrence.[1] Prognosis is generally poor, and the 5-year overall survival rate of patients with atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is 29 ± 9%.[2]
Natural History
- If left untreated, patients with atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor may progress to develop obstructive hydrocephalus, leptomeningeal dissemination, and ultimately death.[1]
Complications
- Common complications of atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor include:[1]
- Obstructive hydrocephalus
- Leptomeningeal dissemination
- Recurrence
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally poor, and the 5-year overall survival rate of patients with atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is 29 ± 9%.[2]
- 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 prognostic factor for atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor.
- Poor prognostic factors for atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor include:[3]
- Germline mutation
- Age < 2 years
- Metastases at diagnosis
- Subtotal resection
- Large tumors
- Recurrence
