Cancer biology & therapy, 2009•Taylor & FrancisRhabdoid tumors are especially lethal cancers that predominantly strike young children. The
vast majority of rhabdoid tumors contain bi-allelic inactivating mutations in the SMARCB1
gene. Here we review clinicopathologic features of rhabdoid tumors and present recent
insights into the mechanisms that drive oncogenesis in the absence of SMARCB1 function.
