Key result
Cardiac sarcomas predominantly affect adults aged 30 to 50 as highly aggressive malignancies.
Why the study?
Cardiac sarcomas are rare primary malignant heart tumors with aggressive progression and symptoms similar to other heart diseases, requiring better understanding of their classification and epidemiology.
Cardiac sarcomas are rare but highly aggressive tumors that mimic other cardiac pathologies, requiring early multidisciplinary diagnostic approaches including advanced imaging and histopathology.

May prompt consideration of cardiac sarcomas in younger adults with unexplained symptoms; leaves open standardized diagnostic and therapeutic protocols.
Cardiac sarcomas are rare primary malignant tumors of the heart. This pathology is predominantly observed in young working-age patients between the ages of 30 and 50 and is characterized by quick progression, aggressive growth, frequent metastasis prior to detection of the primary lesion in the heart, similar symptoms to other heart diseases including heart failure, arrythmia, etc. The article presents the history of cardio-oncology, epidemiologic data and classification of cardiac sarcomas.
