Abstract
Conclusions: A reduced dose of 36-Gy EBRT after delayed GTR may maximize local control while minimizing long-term sequelae for very young children with RMS, but unresectable tumors (e.g., parameningeal) require higher doses. Normal-tissue-sparing techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy and IOHDR are encouraged. Local control may be maximized when EBRT begins â¤18 weeks after initiation of CMT, but further study is warranted. Longer follow-up is required to determine the full extent of late effects.
