Primary cardiac sarcomas are treated with surgery to reach R0 (free resection margins) and with chemo- and radiation therapy with adjuvant purposes. Auto-transplantation is also performed, while conventional heart transplant must be customized on an individual basis, after excluding metastases. A multidisciplinary assessment should be performed and the single patient treated with a personalized approach, in relation to his performance status, location of the mass, and stage of the disease.
