Hi and welcome to HCM.
It can rarely be cured without surgery and it is not advisable since surgery is the most appropriate way of management of such cancers.It can be associated with chemotherpay or radiation but surgery is the mainstay of treatment today. Considering her age it is always questionable is surgery contraindicated,but this is some other question which depends on her general health.
Thanks for the query. WIsh you good health. Regards
