Retinoic acid fails to induce cell cycle arrest with myogenic differentiation in rhabdomyosarcoma

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. Current treatment strategies do not cure most children with recurrent or high-risk disease, underlying the need for novel therapeutic approaches. Retinoic acid has been shown to induce differentiation in a variety of cells including skeletal myoblasts and neuroblasts. In the setting of minimal residual disease, retinoic acid...
