What Is Aortic Cancer And Its Prognosis?

My sister goes to the oncologist Thursday after additional tests to confirm aortic cancer. I have never heard of this cancer and have gotten little even general understanding from the internet. Can you possibly enlighten me as to what it is , the prognosis (aggressive, treatment, rare, etc.)? Virginia Lanter
