00:00Some childhood cancers may be more aggressive than expected.
00:03Researchers found hidden aggressive cells in rhabdomyosarcoma.
00:07This cancer mainly affects children.
00:09Around 55 cases are diagnosed yearly in the UK.
00:12Some tumors are classified as lower risk.
00:15But researchers found aggressive cells hiding inside them.
00:18They used advanced single-cell genetic analysis.
00:21The cells showed patterns linked to high-risk cancer.
00:24Researchers also mapped where these cells appeared.
00:26Different mutations may lead to the same aggressive state.
00:30The discovery could improve cancer risk classification.
00:33Researchers are now studying hundreds more samples for better treatments.
00:37The goal is earlier detection and more precise treatment.
00:41The research could improve outcomes.
00:43Disclosure.
