A member asked:
Please tell me if it is possible to get cancer of the heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, rare: Most cancers in the heart are there because a tumor elsewhere spread to the heart. Cancers arising primarily in the heart are very rare but cancers can arise in the muscle of the heart, lining of the pericardium and lining of the heart and major blood vessels.
