Is there a gentle way to treat heart cancer?

No: Cancer of the heart is rare and there is no treatment. Secondary cancer, that is as a result of spread of cancer arising from another organ such as the lung and breast is not uncommon and denotes poor outcome.Treatment is directed towards the primary cancer.

Heart cancer: Heart cancer is extremely rare and carries a significant mortality. It is usually treated with chemotherapy, or supportive care depending on the stage of cancer. I would speak with your cancer doctor.
