Cardiac Sarcoma

Cardiac Sarcoma

Cardiac sarcoma is a type of tumor that occurs in the heart. Cardiac sarcoma is a primary malignant (cancerous) tumor. Tumors are considered to be either primary tumors or secondary tumors. A primary tumor is the original site of tumor growth.

A secondary tumor originates from another tumor elsewhere in the body. Primary tumors of the heart are rare, and over 75% of primary cardiac tumors are benign (non-cancerous).
