Heart Tumor Program
The Heart Tumor Program within the Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center is the world’s leading medical destination for heart tumor treatment.
Our dedicated team of imaging specialists, cardiologists, oncologists and surgeons have spent a quarter of a century studying primary and malignant heart tumors.
Setting the Standard of Care for Heart Tumor Treatment
Our heart tumor specialists set the standard on how physicians across the world approach and treat heart tumors.
Left untreated, heart tumors, including types that are noncancerous, can lead to serious complications. Our experts work with you to design the most effective heart tumor treatment plan and ensure you receive the best possible care.
Our specialists are also committed to developing new treatments. These treatments, including autotransplantation, offer hope to people with heart tumors, who are often told by doctors elsewhere that there is no way to help them.
In fact, Houston Methodist experts performed the world’s first successful autotransplantation for a malignant heart tumor and are recognized as the leading experts in this technique. This procedure entails using advanced imaging to build a 3D model of the tumor so the surgeons can practice before performing the surgery.
