Where in the body the tumor recurred (came back). Current COG-STS protocols for rhabdomyosarcoma use the TNM-based pretreatment staging system that incorporates the primary tumor site, presence or absence of tumor invasion of surrounding tissues, tumor size, clinical (imaging) assessment of regional lymph node status, and the presence or absence of metastases.
