Prognosis
Guarded prognosis associated with malignancies is worsened by pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade. Children may have poor prognosis and thus, prompt detection and treatment of cardiac tamponade improves survival.[1][2]
Patients rarely present with cardiac tamponade as their first presentation. Superior vena cava syndrome may occur in some patients secondary to either a coexisting tumor or rapid accumulation of pericardial effusion.[3]
Prognosis of symptomatic malignant pericardial disease is grave with a short life expectancy of 2-4 months.[4][5][6][7] While the patients with hematologic[8] or breast cancer,[9] or those in whom malignant cells are not present in the pericardium[10] have a better prognosis in comparison to those with solid tumors, lung cancer,[11] etc.
