Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children and adolescents aged <20 years; its etiology remains largely unknown. Embryonal (ERMS) and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS), the most common subtypes, are thought to arise through distinct biological mechanisms. We evaluated incidence and survival trends by RMS demographic subgroups to inform future etiologic hypotheses. Incidence and survival trends in RMS among children and adolescents aged <20 years were analyzed using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program. Frequencies, age-adjusted incidence and survival rates, and jointpoint regression results, including annual percent change (APC) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), were calculated. Between 1975 and 2005, the incidence of ERMS was stable, while a significant increase in the incidence of ARMS was observed (APC=4.20%, 95%CI=2.60%–5.82%). This trend may be partially attributable to shifts in diagnosis, as a significant negative trend in RMS, not otherwise specified was observed concurrently. A bimodal age peak for ERMS was observed, with the second, smaller peak in adolescence noted for males only; ARMS incidence did not vary by age or sex. Five-year survival rates for RMS and ERMS increased from the period 1976–1980 (52.7% and 60.9%, respectively) to 1996–2000 (61.8% and 73.4%, respectively), while there was little improvement for ARMS (40.1% and 47.8%, respectively). Observed differences in incidence and survival for two major RMS subtypes across gender and age subgroups further support unique underlying etiologies for these tumors. Exploration of these differences presents an opportunity to increase our knowledge of RMS.
