Grouped by core information, identifiers, and descriptions.

Current candidates are inferred from disease-target-ingredient-herb paths and do not represent a formal recommendation ranking.

Description: NCI2016_NICHD_1602D:A malignant neoplasm arising from skeletal myocytes.|NCI2016_NCI-GLOSS_1602D:Cancer that forms in the soft tissues in a type of muscle called striated muscle. Rhabdomyosarcoma can occur anywhere in the body.|NCI2016_CDISC_1602D:A malignant mesenchymal neoplasm arising from skeletal muscle.|NCI2016_02D:A rare aggressive malignant mesenchymal neoplasm arising from skeletal muscle. It usually occurs in children and young adults. Only a small percentage of tumors arise in the skeletal muscle of the extremities. The majority arise in other anatomical sites.|MSH2017_2016_08_12:A malignant solid tumor arising from mesenchymal tissues which normally differentiate to form striated muscle. It can occur in a wide variety of sites. It is divided into four distinct types: pleomorphic, predominantly in male adults; alveolar (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, ALVEOLAR), mainly in adolescents and young adults; embryonal (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, EMBRYONAL), predominantly in infants and children; and botryoidal, also in young children. It is one of the most frequently occurring soft tissue sarcomas and the most common in children under 15.
