Deciphering Cardiac Sarcomas: Etiology, Diagnosis, and Therapeutic Frontiers

Abstract

Cardiac sarcomas, characterized by their rarity and aggressive nature, pose substantial diagnosis and treatment challenges. This Commentary emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach integrating clinical insights, advanced imaging techniques, histopathological analysis, and molecular diagnostics to achieve effective personalized patient management. It discusses the critical role of surgical resection in managing localized disease, complemented by adjuvant therapies such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, to improve patient outcomes. This Commentary highlights emerging treatments including targeted therapies and immunotherapy, and calls for sustained research efforts to better understand the molecular underpinnings of these tumors and develop more effective treatments.
