what is heart cancer?

Content is medically reviewed by Dr. Udaya Kumar Maiya (MBBS, MD, DNB(RT), DCCF (Paris), Medical Director, Portea.

Abnormal cell division is the simplest heart cancer definition possible. Primary cardiac tumour or primary heart cancer is a malignant tumour that develops in the soft tissues and is clinically termed a sarcoma. Malignant primary heart cancer is diagnosed one in 2,000 patients.

Secondary heart cancer generally develops when cancer spreads from organs that are already affected by cancer. Cancer that begins near the heart such as lung cancer can grow and attack the lining around the heart known as the pericardial sac. This can be detected with the help of a heart cancer diagnostic test. Another of the common heart cancer causes is the bloodstream. Blood from the patient’s other cancerous organs travels to the heart through the bloodstream. Thus, patients with kidney cancer, lung cancer, leukaemia, lymphoma, or melanoma should undergo a heart cancer diagnostic test to detect if their prevailing cancer can lead to heart cancer.

what are heart cancer causes?

Irregularities in the immune system fail to detect and fight abnormal cell division, and this leads to different heart cancer types. Radiation, certain viruses, tobacco use, poisonous mushrooms, extreme exposure to sun, heredity, and benzene are thought to be some heart cancer causes.

diagnosis of heart cancer

Heart cancer symptoms are similar to other heart diseases and conditions which makes heart cancer diagnosis of primary heart cancer extremely difficult. People diagnosed with one of the heart cancer types, people with heart murmurs, and abnormal heart rhythms are all susceptible to developing secondary heart cancer symptoms. One or more of the following heart cancer diagnosis methods may be used to detect heart cancer if there are any significant heart cancer symptoms.

heart cancer treatment

If the disease is detected following heart cancer screening tests, in the first stage, one possibility considered is the removal of the tumour. However, surgical heart cancer treatment is not possible if a malignant tumour has grown into the muscle layer. Injecting drugs into the pericardial area can slow down the tumour’s growth, immediately after heart cancer symptoms are diagnosed. Common heart cancer treatment for any of the heart cancer stages is radiation or chemotherapy.
