How Long Does Surgery To Remove Malignant Tumor Take?

my friend is undergoing surgery to remove a malignant tumour on the frontal lobe right side. It is the size of a golf ball. She is 70 years old and quite robust with minimal motor issues due to the tumour. It is breast cancer that has spread. How long is this type of surgery on average?
