Why the study?
Does surgical resection improve long-term survival in patients with primary cardiac tumors compared to the general population?
Design
Single-center retrospective analysis
Follow-up
Up to 15 years postoperatively
Key result
Surgical resection of primary cardiac tumors resulted in long-term survival up to 15 years that was comparable to the age- and sex-matched general population (relative survival 0.91).

Does surgical resection improve long-term survival in patients with primary cardiac tumors compared to the general population?
Effect estimate: relative survival 0.91 (95% CI 0.68-1.23)
Surgical resection of benign primary cardiac tumors yields excellent long-term survival comparable to the general population, whereas malignant tumors have a poor prognosis.
Děrgel et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Primary cardiac tumors (n=60). Surgical resection vs. Age- and sex-matched general population was evaluated on Long-term relative survival at 15 years (relative survival 0.91, 95% CI 0.68-1.23). Surgical resection of primary cardiac tumors resulted in long-term survival up to 15 years that was comparable to the age- and sex-matched general population (relative survival 0.91).
