Do you know, you might be suffering from Rhabdomyosarcoma?



It is a kind of soft tissue sarcoma that takes place in mesenchymal cells;these are undeveloped cells in turn forms as a muscle. A tumor may be cancerous or benign. All cancerous tumors are malignant, sense it can spread to other parts of the body, while benign tumor is less prone to spreading. Generally disease develops in a type of muscle called striated muscle. It can transpire anywhere in the body and most of the Rhabdomyosarcoma cases are seen at 39% in Head and Neck region, 24% in parameningeal sites, 8% in eye socket and29%  urinary or reproductive organs and 15%  Arms or legs. Advanced studies suggests the use of Immunotherapy/biologic therapies, thatcan enhance the body's natural defenses to fight against the Rhabdomyosarcoma, often it uses resources made either by the body or in a laboratory to reinforce, aim, or repair immune system role.

Two types of rhabdomyosarcoma are embryonal and alveolar.Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is seen most frequently in children under age five. Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma also affects the testicles, head and neck, prostate, vegina, or bladder.Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma occurs in all age groups and often affects the large muscles of the trunks, legs, and arms.

As per the stats projected by United States, about 350 people are getting diagnosed every year. The disease is highly associated within the children of age 10. Overall five year survival rate claims around 64% for the children within the age group of 14 and it varies as the age prolongs.Children with rare inherited conditions have a higher risk of developing the disease such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Beckwith – Wiedemann syndrome, Neurofibromatosis, Costello syndrome and Cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome.

Disease can be detectedby offering subsequent tests such asComputed tomography (CT /CAT) scan, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Biopsy and Lumbar puncture (spinal tap). Initially treatment is preceded by surgery and after then the physician plan for going to chemotherapy or radio therapy. Use of traditional methods will always leads to adverse side effects to the patients. So, research is ongoing to overcome this draw back and looking ahead for redesigning the medical treatments that launches a better treatment conditions.

Under such circumstances their arise a launch of biological therapies for treating bladder cancer are Monoclonal antibodies, Cytokine therapy, Vaccine therapy, Adoptive T-cell therapy, Oncolytic virus therapy, Gene therapy, DNA oligonucleotide therapy and RNA oligonucleotide therapy. Introduction of such drugs will be a miracle in future by promoting better treatment options, higher curing capacity and successfully drives the patient with less prone to side effects. Approved drugs by FDA for curing Rhabdomyosarcoma are Cosmegen, Dactinomycin, Vincasar PFS and Vincristine Sulfate.
