Cardiac tumours in children are abnormal lumps of cells growing irregularly in the heart that are cancerous. Even if not cancerous (rarely), any tumour in the heart tissue is extremely life-threatening and must be treated seriously and ASAP. The most common forms of cardiac tumours in children are teratoma, rhabdomyoma, and fibroma. A cardiac tumour in children is usually diagnosed by a PET Scan, echocardiogram (EKG or ECG), or an MRI of the heart. Further blood tests may be helpful in finding blood markers. There are a few options for treating cardiac tumours in children. Targeted therapy is commonly chosen for treating rhabdomyoma, chemotherapy combined with surgery is used for sarcoma, and all other types of cardiac tumours in children are treated by surgery alone.
In the surgical removal of a tumour, a cardiac surgeon surgically removes the mass of tumour cells from the surrounding heart tissue incising a small part of heart tissue to avoid recurrent cancerous growth. The process is open-heart surgery and utilizes a heart-lung bypass machine that temporarily substitutes the functions of the normal heart during the procedure. It is an extremely complicated surgery but has a success rate of 65-75% if done by expert teams of cardiac surgeons boasting high expertise in cancer surgeries.
The average patient stays in the hospital for about 7-10 days including a 24-hour period (sometimes more) in the ICU right after the surgery. After release, the child should follow all guidelines common to an open-heart surgery like complete rest, no strenuous activities, no lifting of the arm, no lifting heavy objects, playing high-intensity sports, doing strenuous daily chores, and running or jumping, and many others, for at least some time. Bathing instructions are also given along with other instructions by the care providers after the surgery during discharge.
Cardiac tumour treatment cost in India starts from 6.5 lacs and can go all the way up to 30 lacs depending on the number of sitting, cancer stage, cancer location in the heart, hospital location, and many other factors.
Due to the highly complicated and sensitive nature of cancer surgeries, especially cardiac ones, an expert team of cardiac surgeons such as those at Dania Medicare Solutions is your best bet. This is to avoid any life risks in the child as well as the risk of recurring cancer.
