Risk Factors
A risk factor is anything that affects your chance of getting a disease such as cancer. Learn more about the risk factors for rhabdomyosarcoma.
Prevention
The risk of many adult cancers can be reduced with certain lifestyle changes (such as not smoking). But the only known risk factors for rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) can’t be changed. There are no proven lifestyle-related or environmental causes of RMS, so at this time there is no way to protect against these cancers.
