title: Pelvic rhabdomyosarcoma in children.
abstract: Twenty children with pelvic rhabdomyosarcoma treated between 1976 and 1983 are reviewed. The survival rate was 55% (11/20), with a bladder salvage rate of 54.5% among survivors. Systemic chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy and/or surgery was most effective in producing cure.
