(tumor or cancer) can not be removed surgically

Explanation:

One more suggestion: (tumor or cancer) can not be removed with (or by)surgery.

Please see the following examples:

"If the tumor cannot be removed surgically, additional treatment is usually required."
http://www.merck.com/mmhe/sec23/ch283/ch283b.html.

"some early-stage cancers cannot be removed by surgery because the liver is badly damaged"
http://www.caring4cancer.com/go/liver/basics/what-are-the-st...

"Patients accepted into the study will be assigned to one of two treatment groups, according to whether or not their tumor can be removed with surgery"
http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00005926

Just for your reference.

inoperable

Explanation:
"in" has the meaning of "not" while "operable" has the meaning of "to be able to operate"; in other words, the meaning is that surgery or an operation may take place, because a benefit is deemed inherent and the benefit outweighs possible harm or because the tumor has not developed in such a way as to make it impossible to excise.
