摘要：
Malignant cardiac tumors have a dismal prognosis left untreated but pose a therapeutic challenge to oncologists and cardiac surgeons. Extensive resection can be required and the positions of the tumors create technical difficulties. Primary malignant tumors can also represent aggressive disease. The clinical manifestations and therapeutic options are discussed in this Review.
