Key result
Surgical resection of a large right ventricular metastasis from cervical cancer via right ventriculostomy prevented immediate circulatory collapse, but the patient died from recurrence 5 months later.
Why the study?
Cardiac metastasis from cervical cancer is rare, prompting this case report of surgical management.
Case Report (n=1)
No
While surgical resection of right ventricular metastasis from cervical cancer can prevent sudden death from outflow tract obstruction or pulmonary embolism, the overall prognosis remains extremely poor.
Surgical resection may relieve acute right ventricular obstruction from cervical cancer metastasis; leaves open any survival benefit in this rare entity.

Kando et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Cardiac metastasis from cervical cancer (n=1). Surgical resection via right ventriculostomy was evaluated on Patient survival and clinical course. Surgical resection of a large right ventricular metastasis from cervical cancer via right ventriculostomy prevented immediate circulatory collapse, but the patient died from recurrence 5 months later.
