Before 1960, individuals with rhabdomyosarcoma had a five-year mortality of one hundred percent. However, with [[radiation therapy]], [[chemotherapy]], and surgery, five year survival for botryoid embryonal tumours is ninety-five percent. The five year survival for individuals with classical embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, however, is 66% and that of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is 54%. Metastasis occurs in twenty percent of all cases of rhabdomyosarcoma, with the main sites of metastasis being the lungs, bone, and lymph nodes.
