Rhabdomyosarcomas

Rhabdomyosarcomas are cancers that arise from skeletal muscle. Rhabdomyosarcomas most frequently occur in the arms and legs, but can also originate in other areas. This cancer is more common in children than adults.

Specialists at the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford provide a range of services for children with rhabdomyosarcomas.
