What Could Cancer Wrapped Around Abdominal Aorta Suggest?
A friend just found out she has cancer...Its wrapped around her Abdominal Aorta. What does this mean? They said its about the size of an orange and going to be very hard to reach. I'm just worried but of course don't want to ask her lots of questions. How serious is this?
hello dear. I have gone through your details. it means that the tumor is encasing the aorta(blood vessel) and it will be difficult for a surgeon to remove it as it can cause damage to the blood vessel. It is a serious concern the usual treatment in such a case will be the use of chemotherapy first and to see the response. Hope you understand. Thanks
