Segment Overview

Tumor Type

• Primary Tumor

Primary Heart Cardiac (PCT) is a deadly and uncommon condition. Primary tumors are classified into malignant and benign. For instance, according to a SpringerLink article from October 2020, 10% are malignant tumors that are pathologically labelled as sarcomas, and about 90% are benign tumors. Moreover, the major benign tumors that have high chances of becoming malignant are myxomas, rhabdomyoma, and others, including fibromas, lipomas, hemangiomas, papillary fibroelastomas, cystic tumors of the atrioventricular node, and paragangliomas. Soft tissue sarcomas are the common PCTs.

• Secondary Tumor

The common secondary cardiac tumor is epicardial compared to myocardial and endocardial, and only 10% are symptomatic secondary tumors. For instance, in June 2020, a ScienceDirect article on cardiac tumors reported that SCTs are 20 to 40 times common and frequent than Primary Cardiac Tumors (PCTs). At autopsy, approximately 12% of patients are diagnosed with SCTs, with the majority remaining clinically silent.

By Diagnosis & Treatment

• Diagnosis

The heart tumor can be diagnosed by CT scans, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, nuclear imaging, echocardiography, and others. The cardiac CT scan is used to identify narrowed or blocked arteries. Moreover, cardiac MRI provides multiplanar information related to the cardiac masses, including surrounding structures. It is also beneficial due to the appropriate identification of benign and malignant tumors as well as in providing psuedomass information. In addition, other diagnosis methods includes for heart tumor is Electrocardiogram (ECG), electrophysiology tests and cardiac biopsy.

• Treatment

The treatment segment includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and others. Surgical procedures include surgical excision, transplantation, and catheterization. Additionally, Surgery removes the growth of cancerous tumors or cancerous tumors. For instance, according to the Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery published in April 2019, it is effective, durable, and safe for primary benign cardiac tumors. A study conducted in the Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery from 2008 to 2018 showed that 19 men and 31 women were enrolled with left atrium (80.0%), right atrium (16.0%), right ventricle (2.0%), and left ventricle (2.0%) from age 55 to 17.5 years.
