STS IN INFANTS Infantile fibrosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and malignant rhabdoid tumor are the most common soft tissue sarcomas in infants. In general, infants with STS have worse outcomes when compared to older children. Molecular studies have resulted in accurate diagnosis and classification. Newer targeted therapies are likely to improve the prognosis of infants with STS in the near future.
