RMS disease, or rhabdomyosarcoma, is a rare type of cancer that forms in soft tissue, specifically skeletal muscle tissue or sometimes hollow organs such as the bladder or uterus
. It can occur at any age, but it most often affects children
. RMS can start nearly anywhere in the body, so the symptoms of RMS can be different in each person and depend on the location of cancer
. The symptoms may include lumps under the skin, bone pain, constant cough, weakness, weight loss, and trouble urinating
. The outlook and treatment decisions depend on the type of rhabdomyosarcoma, where it starts, tumor size, and whether the cancer has spread. Treatment usually includes a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy
