Depends stage: There are statistical based survival estimates by stage. Each patient is an individual. It is most critical to speak with your thoracic surgical oncology team. They will develop multi-disciplan approach and treatment plan and have a more personalized/individualized determination of reasonable prognosis. http://goo.gl/6phtu.
