Best Answer

Tumors are always operable because they are benign. But if it's not benign then it's called a cancer. Reason cancer is inoperable is because they are already in your body, if you remove it doesn't matter because they might be somewhere else in your body . Difference between tumor and Cancer is Cancer will never stop growing in your body until it'll kill you body cells, as for tumor it's only in one area and doesn't grow all over your body. You can treat a cancer too but it depends in which level you find it out. If it's first level than it's big chance that it's not somewhere else in your body and they may treat it if you do the surgery on time.
