Primary heart cancer (cancer that arises in the heart tissue itself rather than having its origin in another part of the body) is very rare; the Mayo Clinic typically sees only one case per year. Heart cancer is still rare even if you include forms that move to the heart from other parts of the body. Usually, treatment is designed to control symptoms and to preserve heart function.
