Common queries in managing rhabdomyosarcoma in low- and middle-income countries: An Indo-North American collaboration.

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma among children and adolescents. The management of RMS involves risk stratification of the patients based on various clinicopathological characteristics. The multimodality treatment approach requires chemotherapy, surgery, and/or radiation. The treatment of RMS necessitates the involvement of multiple disciplines, such as pathology, pediatric oncology, surgery, and radiation oncology. The disease heterogeneity, molecular testing, evolving treatment regimens, and limited resources are some of the challenges faced by clinicians while treating a patient with RMS in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In this review, we endeavor to bring experts from varying fields to address clinicians' common questions while managing a child or adolescent with RMS in LMICs. This review is most applicable to level 2 centers in LMICs as per the levels of services described by the Adapted Treatment Regimens Working Group of the Pediatric Oncology in Developing Countries committee of the International Society of Pediatric Oncology.
