Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Yes, a malignancy where in the tumor is attached to aorta is not an easy procedure and has high chance of mortality. this is the reason it is not being operated. If your doctor feels that there is no chance of survival as such, then as a palliative procedure he can be operated with very high risk consent.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, or wish to know further about this problem, you can use the below mentioned link:
