OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the frequency of self reported health related outcomes in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma who survived 5 years from diagnosis after treatment on Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study Group (IRSG) protocols I, II, III, and IV pilot. II. Determine the mortality of these patients and compare this mortality to the general population, especially in the third and fourth decades of life. III. Determine treatment specific risks of developing a second malignancy following treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma and the potential genetic influences (family history of cancer). IV. Determine the association between decreased fertility/offspring and dose, schedule, and total dose of alkylating agents (especially cyclophosphamide) received during treatment and with selected genitourinary and paratesticular primaries. V. Determine the effect of the dose and location of therapeutic radiation for primary head and neck cancer on achieved final height. VI. Determine the association of therapy with doxorubicin (dose and age when received) with cardiac and vascular events.
