Answer 1

You are misinformed. There are several types of cancer of the heart. Some cancers of the heart are primary meaning they started there, and some are secondary meaning they started somewhere else.

Heart cancer is rare and that is the only reason you have never heard about it.

This is one of those questions that people ask in here all the time. So, here is the answer reposted:

Heart cancer is rare, but I know that it occurs because people in the Sarcoma group where I go have Angiosarcoma. It is a rare disease so not many people have heard about it (also referred to as Cardiac Sarcoma or Angiosarcoma of the Heart).

Cardiac Sarcoma
http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic282.htm

Primary cardiac tumors.
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pmcentrez&artid=1345598


With heart angiosarcoma the "patients can be asymptomatic for a long time or they can present with symptoms mimicking acute pericarditis, pulmonary embolism, or tricuspid stenosis."

Cancer BackUp: Angiosarcoma of the Heart
http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/help/default.asp?page=17848


"Angiosarcomas represent 1% of all sarcomas. One-third of the cases occur on the skin, one-fourth of the cases occur in the soft tissue or organs such as breast, liver, heart and lungs." - Sarcoma Alliance. http://www.sarcomaalliance.com/

Other rare types of malignant heart tumor includes pericardial mesothelioma and a primary heart lymphoma (which can occur in people with AIDS). Secondary cancers (originate elsewhere in the body) can also metatasize to the heart including lung and breast carcinoma, soft-tissue sarcoma, renal cancer, malignant melanoma, leukemia, lymphoma, and sometimes Kaposi's Sarcoma.

Answer 2

i think this has something to do with that fact that cells are not produced in the heart.

i am not sure.

if you are talking about why your heart doesnt have cancer - well hey i dont know.

you might need to perfect your english and grammar and then ask this question again...

Answer 3

heart does get cancer it causes death called heart disease,my uncle died of it last year,you usually go intoheart failure and die and an autopsy diagnoses death from heart tumor
