Valvar Cancer

Valvar cancer is a rare tumor that affects one or more of the heart valves.

Symptoms often mimic other heart conditions and can include shortness of breath, palpitations, fatigue, chest pain, or heart murmurs. Due to its rarity, accurate diagnosis and specialized treatment planning are essential. Management often involves cardiac surgery, sometimes in combination with chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Causes and Risk Factors of Valvar Cancer

Though extremely rare, some factors may contribute to valvar cancer development.

Primary cardiac tumors:Some tumors originate in heart valves
Secondary metastasis from other cancers
Age and gender:Occurs in adults, slightly more common in men

Symptoms and Clinical Presentation

Symptoms usually relate to cardiac dysfunction.

Shortness of breath and fatigue
Palpitations or irregular heartbeat
Chest pain or discomfort:May mimic angina
Heart murmurs detectable on auscultation

Treatment Options for Valvar Cancer

Treatment focuses on complete tumor removal and cardiac function preservation.

Surgical resection:Heart valve repair or replacement to remove tumor
Chemotherapy for aggressive or metastatic tumors
Radiotherapy:Used selectively in unresectable or residual disease
