Synopsis Primary cardiac sarcoma (PCS) is a rare malignant tumor having a poor prognosis. It is aggressively metastasized and has limited efficacy of systemic therapies with short life expectancy. This study aims to reveal the association of PCS with brain metastasis and also to characterize and understand disease presentation, location, treatment modalities, and overall survival of patients with PCS. This week’s “ MED FACT ” discusses a clinical trial from Sarcoma , “Primary Cardiac Sarcoma: A Rare, Aggressive Malignancy with a High Propensity for Brain Metastases” .
