The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the D9602 protocol in achieving high failure-free survival rates in low-risk embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma patients by modifying treatment regimens.
Subgroup A patients received vincristine plus dactinomycin, while Subgroup B received those plus cyclophosphamide. Patients in groups II/III received radiotherapy (RT).
Radiotherapy doses were reduced from previous protocols, specifically from 41.4 to 36 Gy for certain patients and from 50 or 59 to 45 Gy for others.
Estimated 5-year failure-free survival rates were 89% for subgroup A patients (n = 264) and 85% for subgroup B patients (n = 78).
5-year failure-free survival rates were 81% for stage 1 group IIA tumors (n = 62) and 86% for group III orbit tumors (n = 77).
