Why the study?
Cardiac malignant tumors have poor prognosis with site-specific complications such as fatal pulmonary embolism in right heart cases, making the role of surgical therapy in preventing sudden death and improving ADL uncertain.
Does surgical therapy improve survival and ADL in patients with right heart malignant tumors?

Does surgical therapy improve survival and ADL in patients with right heart malignant tumors?
Surgical intervention for right heart malignant tumors can prevent sudden death and improve ADL, allowing for adjuvant therapy and potential survival extension in some patients, despite an overall poor prognosis.
