TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that genetic abnormalities play a prominent role in the development of an SMN after therapy for a primary RMS and Chemotherapy with an alkylating agent and radiotherapy play significant roles in theDevelopment of anSMN compared with patients who received only one of these therapeutic modalities.
