What Type Of Clinical Trial Is Best For Rhabdomyosarcoma?

My son has been treated for rhabdomyosarcoma for two years . what type of clinical trial would be best for his type of cancer? The cancer keeps getting beat back and always re-appears in the same lymph nodes, I think the doctor might of missed an opportunity to do lymph node surgery the first year, know he is 100 pounds, still in the lymph nodes, and in dec it spread in to the omentum in the stomach.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Treatment of rabdomyosarcoma depends on stage, spread and location. In early cases surgical excision is helpful. If your rabdomyosarcoma spread to the omentum and stomach then it is very difficult to treat. TTreatment options are chemotherapy and radiotherapy only. Despite of treatment prognosis remains poor. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
