Abstract
For nonmetastatic and localized primary cardiac sarcoma, an R0 surgical resection of cardiac sarcomas should be performed. Aggressive surgical treatment or radiation therapy for local recurrence or metastasis prolongs the survival. Multimodality treatment is recommended after incomplete resections of cardiac sarcomas. The role of adjuvant chemotherapy after R0 resections is unclear.
