Cardiac Tumors

Cardiac Tumors are growths that form in the heart and can be either benign (such as myxoma) or malignant. Benign tumors are more common and are usually non-cancerous. Early diagnosis is crucial as it can lead to timely treatment and better outcomes for patients.

Cardiac tumors vary in size and shape. Some are pedunculated, meaning they grow on a stalk. Heart tumors can be as small as less than 1 cm in diameter or as large as 15 cm. The size and location of the tumor in the heart affect the symptoms and the need for treatment.

Most cardiac tumors can be treated using minimally invasive methods.
