ATT/RHT - A very rare, fast-growing cancer that usually forms in tissues in the central nervous system (CNS), such as the cerebellum (the part of the brain that controls movement and balance) or the brainstem. ATT/RHTs can also form in areas of the body outside of the CNS, such as B. Kidney, but this is rare. Most of these types of tumors are caused by mutations (changes) in the tumor suppressor genes SMARCB1 or SMARCA4, which produce proteins that help control cell growth. ATT/RHTs usually occur in children ages 3 years and younger, but can also occur in older children and adults. Also called AT/RT and atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor
