Cardiac Tumors in Children
Cardiac tumors in children are abnormal cell growths within the heart that can be either cancerous or non-cancerous. Even non-cancerous tumors, which are rare, can be life-threatening due to their location and impact on heart function. Immediate diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
The most common types of cardiac tumors in children include:
-
Teratoma
-
Rhabdomyoma
-
Fibroma
Cardiac tumors in children are typically diagnosed using advanced imaging techniques such as PET scans, echocardiograms (EKG/ECG), or cardiac MRIs. Blood tests may also be conducted to identify specific markers.
Treatment Options for Cardiac Tumors in Children
-
1. Targeted Therapy: Often used for rhabdomyomas.
-
2. Chemotherapy Combined with Surgery:' Commonly used for sarcomas.
-
3. Surgical Removal: The primary treatment for most other cardiac tumors.
During surgery, a cardiac surgeon removes the tumor and a small portion of the surrounding heart tissue to minimize the risk of recurrence. The procedure is an open-heart surgery performed with the aid of a heart-lung bypass machine, which temporarily takes over the heart's functions during the operation.
This surgery is complex but has a success rate of 65-75% when performed by experienced cardiac surgeons.
