Malignant cardiac neoplasms and associated malignancies over 16 years in the USA.

Background: Malignant cardiac neoplasms (MCNs), both primary and metastatic, are rare with few epidemiologic studies.

Methods: This retrospective study used the Healthcare Utilization Project/Nationwide Inpatient Sample database from 2002 to 2018 to evaluate the co-occurrences with other malignancies, and mortality of MCNs in the USA.

Results: The data contained 7207 weighted discharges of MCN.

Benign Cardiac Neoplasms in the United States: A Thirteen-Year Review.

Cardiac neoplasms are uncommon tumors. For epidemiological purposes, they can be divided into benign and malignant subtypes, with the former occurring at a significantly higher rate than the latter. Due to their uncommon nature, there are few data-driven studies examining the characteristics and trends of benign cardiac neoplasms.
