Frequency, Risk‐Factors and Survival of Children With Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumors (AT/RT) of the CNS Diagnosed between 1988 and 2004, and Registered to the German HIT Database

Abstract

The incidence of AT/RT in children below 1 year is higher than previously reported. A subset of patients with favorable clinical risk factors profits from intensive multimodal treatment. Prospective clinical and biological studies are needed to further define prognostic factors and optimize therapy.
