Rhabdomyosarcoma in adults has a poorer prognosis than paediatric rhabdomyosarcoma and other high-grade sarcomas in adults. Adult rhabdomyosarcoma should continue to be treated aggressively, but new and tailored treatment strategies are needed to improve the long-term outcome. Previous predictors of poor survival in paediatric patients were valid in adults except for age, site (favourable versus unfavourable), and tumour size.
