Can surgical resection provide survival benefits in patients with isolated cardiac metastases?
Surgical resection of solitary cardiac metastases can be successful and offer survival benefits when the primary tumor is well controlled.
Thanjavur S. Ravikumar (1983) conducted a case report in Isolated cardiac metastases (n=11). Surgical resection using cardiopulmonary bypass was evaluated on Survival. Surgical resection of solitary cardiac metastases using cardiopulmonary bypass resulted in survivals ranging from four months to two years in an analysis of 11 cases.
