RAS and ROS in rhabdomyosarcoma

Minsi Zhang et al. Cancer Cell. .

Abstract

The 5-year survival for localized rhabdomyosarcoma is over 70%, but only 30% for patients presenting with metastatic disease. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Chen and colleagues performed whole-genome and RNA sequencing on human rhabdomyosarcoma and identified RAS mutations and oxidative stress as potential therapeutic targets for high-risk embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.
