The survival of patients are related to some factors such as primary site of tumor, histology, stage of disease, early diagnosis and treatment. The survival rate of these patients has significantly increased since the 1970s. Considering the variety of reports and studies in this regard, we evaluated the 5-10yr. survival rate in this group of patients. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective cross sectional survival analysis study that has been carried out on 77 children up to 15 years of age with Rhabdomyosarcoma who were admitted in the hematology and oncology wards of AliAsghar children Hospital from 1993-2003 and were evaluated in regard to age at time of admission, pathology, stage of disease, primary site, type of treatment received and its' relation to survival rate. For analysis SPSS version 11.5 software was used. For determination of survival rate Kaplan Meire method and for evaluation of factors affecting it cox regression was used.
