Meta AnalysisRole of high-dose chemotherapy with hematopoietic stem cell rescue in the treatment of metastatic or recurrent rhabdomyosarcoma.
This review summarizes the published data on the use of high-dose chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell rescue (HSCR) in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). ⋯ Based on these data, there does not appear to be a significant advantage to undergoing high-dose chemotherapy with HSCR for patients with relapsed or refractory high-risk RMS. Clearly, there is a need for incorporating new treatment strategies for patients with high-risk RMS.
